Default Rear door, rain, wet carpet... fixes?

So, the horrible design that has rain run down the roof and through the back door and onto the carpeting (I'm in the driveway, so there's a bit of angle) must have a reasonable fix. Any product out there that'll clip on or attach somehow to re-route that water to one side of the door or the other?

I added a stick on seal to help seal the rear door from dust mostly.
You could try that and make sure the OEM seal is in place.

Or just back in to park for now.

Sorry, I neglected to mention that this is when the rear door is open. Like say you're doing some work in the rain, or have a rear awning.... having water run down the drop of the truck and in just sucks.

I think everyone has that problem a Land Rover or not.

Just be happy that your tailgate doesn't open up over your head,
I have seen a lot of people with the over head door get smashed or have to
hold the door up at the same time they are putting things in the back.

At least with an overhead door you put in a rubber piece attached to both body and door and can drain it off to the side. Having rain going into the back while camping, sucks.

Simple solution, don't stand out in the rain.

Yeah, but it also means you can't use the rear of the vehicle for shelter/cooking, having to carry everything to setup a standalone shelter even if it's a pop out awning still means more pipe for propane etc to reach. I guess I'll make something myself, I'm hoping that some simple door trim across the top edge will route water to the sills instead.
