In an attempt to try and tidy up loose ends of various threads about mine and other folks Coupe water leaks - here is an attempt at a sticky thread to describe process of changing the door seal.
By way of quick history - I was getting water ingress in the driver side footwell. Most of this was coming from a damaged grommet on the cable for the bonnet release that travels up UK drivers side rain tray - near the fusebox. I used some gutter sealant to effect a good repair on this. This stuff stays nice and flexible - it doesn't harden or set like a glue or silcone based stuff.
However - that was not the full story.
I was still getting water in at bottom of A-pillar. The attached pic is a mild example of where it appeared inside the car. Look just right of the left trim clip... you can see by the rust on the procon cable tube that a fair amount of water had been creeping in for a while.
The carpet was salvagable but I had to throw out the underlay foam/fiber stuff.
