Default Leaking Rubber Seals

Have done a few searches on this but my prob seems to be slightly different.

Water is leaking from on to both door sills inside the car all along the panel where the metal s2000 plate is.

I think this is getting into the car from the rubber at the base of each window (when up) there is a bit of rubber that looks like it shouls wrap round the window bit obviously still allow the glass to slide up and down.
I think that is where the water is leaking in and then deposting it on my sills. It doesnt seem to fit tight to the window.

Done anyone know where to get these replaced and for what cost?

Thanks

Have you looked into Shinetsu grease? You can buy it from your local Honda dealership. It is used to replenish the rubber seals and keep them new.
