Hate to put a dampener on your idea, but if you have lower pressure inside the cabin, the water will be "sucked in" the van!
Having a window open may be enough to stop it.... or make it worse  ;D ;D ;D
And make sure the drain holes in the door bottom are clear, cos if your getting water past the door card, means it has to go somewhere...

Cheers

Workin for the weekend!

Yep, I guess time will tell Russell.

Update time for those who are experiencing the same issue with water coming in at the top of your front doors when you are parked at an angle or turning a corner.

So the foul weather that we experienced at Brits at the Beach last weekend had an upside in that it allowed me to check how water tight the van now is. Hobbit was spot on with his suggestion of a rubber strip at the top of the door. After using a temporary soft sponge rubber I converted to a 10mm half round adhesive backed rubber a few weeks back and its definitely done the trick.

We were able to sit in a dry van watching the water gush down the outside of the door windows as we took each curve and not a drop entered the van all weekend.

All credit to Hobbit for this fix.
