It seems the bolt that holds the little adjustable stoppers for the rear door was hand tight !! The water was dripping right from there, so I took a 32mm ( I believe it’s a 30 but I didn’t have one) and tightened it up!
Voila the leak is now gone !!! I’ll probably changed the runner seals on the outside of it next week. I’ll attach some pics later
Gonna have to bookmark this one, I recently noticed a little patch of mold and some saturation on the left hand side behind the panel on the carpet insert. Wasn't able to see where it was leaking from, but water got in there somehow... this certainly might be it.

Let us know how it turns out!
