Default Water leak above tweeter

I have an 04 that has a water leak above the the drivers side tweeter. It is leaking from between the rubber moulding and the plastic trim on the pillar.

I just noticed today as it was the first time I took it out in the rain. I only drive the car a few times a week and it sits for the rest of the week. Up till a month ago it was always garaged. Now for the last month I've had to keep it out in the driveway, it has not leaked sitting in the driveway during rain storms.

Is there a solution? I did a search and only found one other thread about the same kind of leak but the OP never posted up a solution or an update.

I dunno, but I have an air leak at the exact location and it goes away when I push on the tweeter. I'd enjoy a solution as well.

I had the same thing- I had previously taken the door apart to get to the speakers. When I put the sail back in I didn't situate it correctly in the plastic trim. Check to make sure it's fitting correctly.

I do notice that with the door open, I can see that the rubber weatherstripping on the pillar has a impression mark of the tweeter sail. I wonder if over time, mine is an 04, that the sail makes an impression and the weather stripping does not seal as before.

Can someone with a newer z take a look at their weatherstripping and tell me if the tweeter sail makes an impression at that particular spot?

Same is happening to me on the same spot.
