Default Wet passenger Speaker grille

Hey guys... these past 2 weeks have given us a lot of rain in Southern California. Yesterday I noticed that my passenger front door speaker looked wet when I was driving the car. When I parked I touched it and sure enough it was wet, I a,so touched the lower part of the door where the carpet is and that's wet. Nowhere else in the car is there any dampness or puddling of water. Any plausible idea what I need to do to fix this? I am thinking the door rubber trim is ok, but it could be the culprit. Any ideas would be helpful

Either that or the rubber around the door's glass or perhaps something inside the door itself.

Check the 4 drain tubes in the moonroof area for plugging. Also, clean and then use Shin Etsu grease on all rubber weathet stripping.

Have the same issue. Door sheet metal not quite flush to seal, has some flex to it. No damage to door that I can see. Door drainage holes unobstructed.
