got caught in the horrendous thunderstorms yesterday and my passenger door seal thought it would be much better to
let water in.

is it new seal time or is there some mod or something to stop it. I don't want it to happen if im not around and I end up
with soggy seats and carpets

Check the membrane inside the door first quite often the sealant fails & allows water that would normally run out the bottom of the door to get inside

Monaro? If so it's the clear membrane behind the door trim. Common issue but easy to fix. Just remove door trim and make sure the membrane is sealed all around and anywhere else like the speaker pod etc.

the water was leaking in from the top of the door. further back than the top of the windscreen dripping onto the seat

Is the door flush with the rest of the car. Not standing proud of the body? Sometimes the plate can move (the door catch on the body).
