Sounds like a safe assumption. Try gooping it up with silicon for now and see if it stops the leak. Dealer is probably the only place to get the seal or it may only be available with the cable. Which reminds me. I need to get a new cable for my TD. The needle bounces a bit at low speed.

Front driver door seal is pretty toasted. Front window seal looks good and I don't think the sunroof pan leaks in that way, does it? Is this the most likely avenue for passive water to get in to the drivers floor pan? No holes underneath that I can find and all body plugs in place. I cannot find
