I usually have a cover over the Chimaera, but in this wind it wouldn't stay on. Knowing I have a slight leak I went to dry the mats off on Sunday, only to find the drivers foot well several inches deep in water.

Cover has now been modified so I can strap it to all 4 wheels.

I think I have found the problem, there is a large block of rubber in the top corner of the door as you open it, its missing on just the drivers side. Where would I get one from?

You've mixed messages - block of rubber is not an Elephant Ear !!

A large block of rubber is the large block of rubber which is part of the door trim (replacements available), it can fall off if not attached firmly (silkaflex?)

Elephant ears is a flappy bit of rubber which was introduced to take water away from the door jam. It fits on the body work, not on the door, under the hood next to the door inset. The links in earlier references may have pikkies, unfortunateluy I don't.
