'01 SE7 Rear door leaking

My rear door is leaking a fair amount at the top. If it rains hard or I wash it I get water coming in at the top of the door.
Is this a common problem? The seal looks OK and the door is shutting tight.

Well the only way it will leak is if the seal has flatened out or the door needs to be adjusted for fit. For the most parts, they don't leak, even as big and heavy as they are.

Open the rear door all the way and just loosen the hinge bolts. Grab a helper and while you lift the open door up, have your helper tighten the bolts. Should seal perfectly.
