Just a note on water in doors from my 16 years as a tech: All doors get some water in them. The felts and seals around the glass are designed to minimize the volume of water that enters the door. There is always a drain somewhere below/outside of the door seal that allows the door to drain onto the sill. It's common for those drains to get plugged up. I have yet to encounter this on my 98ti, but I've seen it dozens of times on customer's vehicles. If the door drains are clear, it's possible the seals at the glass are shrunk to the point that they allow in enough water to splash around and exit the door somewhere else. If you're seeing water on top of the seal, I suspect one of these way be the cause. Hope this helps.
