Paradigm passthrough leaking?

Anyone experience rain getting into passthrough storage area every time it rains? Its on the drivers side door entry on my 390 MP. Trying to figure out where / how it is coming in. Guess I am going to have to empty the passthrough and sit in there while someone systematically sprays water from the bottom of the door to the top. The rubber seals on the frame are in place. The door latches tight. ???? hmmmm

I found mine to be leaking behind the hinge at the frame seam. I sealed the top of the hinge and behind the rubber seal at the frame seam.

My compartment door, on the entry door side, was leaking like a sieve. Tried adjusting the latch. Didn't work. Turns out the door is upside down and the weep holes are on top. Instead of letting water out, they work as a funnel and fills the door with water that finds its way around the seal and into the compartment. Drilled new holes in the bottom and filled the ones on top with caulk.
