Try a new seal, but also see if the catch is actually pulling the window tight. Also check for splits on the seal and if it is fitted correctly before replacing it

I would check and make sure seal are aligned correctly. I would then sit in the car and have someone with a hose spray water so you can see were the water is coming in..

a trick might help you with this seal is ,to put on the seal some Vaseline (Hands cream),this will make it soft and not dry from the weather conditions,and age of the car,try it and don't apply much.
