The RH side window was seriously out of square at the top corners and the forming of the extrusion resulted in the radius of the flange collapsing. The cumulative result was to pull the seal inwards from the top corners, which resulted in the seal falling in - the "sucked in" effect. This allowed water to get behind the seal and rust the sill of the body aperture.

It is, but the corner radius is wrong because of the forming operation and the frame is 4mm short both ways, so I will rectify that as well. I will post pics when I have finished. I have made moulds and used glass filled epoxy to extend the flanges to where they should have been in the first place.
