I found that the wet carpet at the bottom of the door was due to the seal of the door membrane being loose along the bottom edge of the door, to the left of the subwoofer module or rear of what I'd noted as wet. I re-sealed the entire bottom edge of the membrane with RTV Silicone Sealant and that seems to have cured the leak.

I got the same problem on my 996. The whole inside of the door is wet, no running water, no water gathered in the bottom of the door, the whole door is just damp inside. Also, like you experienced, the carpet on the bottom of the door liner is wet. I tried a quick seal with ducktape just to check, and while the problem was not as severe as before, it still got wet, apparently through the holes in the door where the plastic pins hold the door liner attached to the door. Did you seal up these holes as well? If so, how? And also, is it acceptable for the door to be damp inside or should the seal between the outside of the window and the door be replaced?
