Is there a product available to apply to the hardtop seals prior to fitting for the winter that provides a waterproof seal ?
I have to check the drains first, but if these are clear then it has to be the Hardtop seals . yes ??

No! As was quoted below, there is also the possibility that water is getting in past the rubber membrane under the door panel. This is especially true if the membrane was not properly adhered to the inner metal door skin when, for example, a window regulator was replaced.
You can check this without removing the door panel by monitoring whether any moisture is building up on the lowest horizontal portion of the door panel and/or on the carpet on the inner part of the door sill.
