Ok well aside from water comming in from the blower motor area I found somthing weird....

My pass side door dosent close all the way. It seem like the unit inside the door is loose maybe? If I shut the the door and gently press it with my knee it clooses about another 1/4". It's just enough you can tell from the outside and one day when it was pouring and I was trying to figure out where my water leak was I saw a slight drip comming in from the bottom of the door.

I have to tear apart my door panel this summer and replace the window motor so I was hoping there was a way to adjust this so the door would close tightly...I really dont want to pay the dealer to fix this too?!?!

Forgive me, I'm not sure if I understand.

You think the door panel is loose and not allowing the door to close fully?
 
I'm sorry for not being clear. I'm not that dumb haha the door panel is fine. I'm talking about the latch mechanism inside the door. When it latches to the peice that is attched to the door jam. It seems like its loose or somthing. It's hard to explain. I know evey so often I grease the part on the door. It's similar to the mechanism that holds the trunk and hood closed..does that help? When I shut my door it's latched but not 100% tight.
 
oh alright, you can try to loosen and adjust the door striker (looks like a large bolt on the door jamb) to pull the door in more.

Or loosen the 3 bolts that hold the latch in and do the same thing.

Let me know how it goes.
