Pried off the door panel and yup, water. Not a lot, but some and also dirt tracks from previous leakage.
Modern cars are kinda funny because the water runs through the door, by design. That transparent plastic foil is the wall between inside and outside.
It has detached in several places, so when it rains hard, which it had, the drain holes in the bottom of the door cannot dump the water fast enough and the door fills up, releasing water from those detached spots.
The model also had a problem with the door drains blocking completely, but that has already been remedied previously.
Gooped up and reassembled. We'll see next time there's a lot of rain.
Now to figure out how to dry the floor 🙄

Playing a fun game today called "Why is there water in the car?"
Is it from a blocked ventilation drain? Nope.
Is the windshield leaking? Nope.
Did it leave traces? Yup, but pouring lots of water everywhere does not reproduce them 🤷
It might also have come from the door cable conduit, although that looks tight. I silicone'd it some anyways, just in case.
Next up, take the door panel off, although it does not seem to be leaking now, it might have during the waterfall rain we had.
Also possible that someone didn't close the door or window completely and I'm just wasting my time here.
Especially with the dumb hold-button-to-open-windows feature that does trigger with the key in the pocket occasionally.
