Now I'm pissed.

I removed the door panel again and had a helper spray water on the car while I was sitting inside.

The water is definitely coming in from the area of the driver's side view mirror. I removed the mirror from the door, and could not find any obvious area where the water would be entering but I can plainly see water dripping inside the door. I used some silicon sealant under the rubber gasket around the side view mirror, but once I put the mirror back on and rechecked with water, its still leaking.

I guess I'll try posting this issue on other websites since it does not seem anyone here has had this problem. Probably go to some board that deals with 996s since they have the same construction as our 986s from the doors forward.

Anyone have good recommendations for other websites to review?
