PIMP MY RIDE.... on a serious note, I don't know what's wrong with your car. Put plastic bags around it... like a raincoat :)

Go to the nearest bodyshop. It has to be a bodyshop though, because mechanics are going to tell you to fuck off.

If you have anymore questions, automotive related, PM me. I am the person to talk to on the subject.

Toss it in some water and see where the bubbles shoot out.

ur not being to specific i mean alota can leak from a window, but i guess it is driver side....

could most likely be a seal put in backwards if u ever got your seal around your door changed, if not maybe it is worn and cracked and no longer creates a tight seal so heavy rains pushes it's way through

could be a accident and frame dammage or body dmg which means body is twisted and you a just fucked then, or window isn't in right.... i prolly could do more if i saw the car or had a better description of the problem but more than likely it is one of thes 2 things.....

Well, you wanna be careful. Keep the car dry from now on, anyway you can. You don't want to have any interior damage or molding. Take it to the bodyshop so they can find out what is really going on.

He's right, seals are a big issue, especially in older cars. It's funny, the conditions they are intended to protect you against end up wearing them down after time.
Body damage means big $$$$, but in the end, who wants to spend major money on a leak. The thing is though, is if the car sustained enough damage in an accident to cause interference in the body gaps.... you'de most likely find some frame damage as well. Resulting in vibrations, squeaks, and other random noises in everyday driving. Maybe some steering changes as well. I wouldn't worry too much about this... unless you have noticed these things.

You don't get it. It is MY fault though for not labeling sarcasm.
