Default Water leaking from passenger door... How to stop it?

1999 4 door sport.

I've been tracing a water leak because my passenger carpet closest to the seat mount has been getting wet/condensation. I've eliminated condenser, heater core and hvac seals as I've poured water through the windshield and firewall. I pulled the door card and poured water on the window and saw that a LOT of water gets in through the corner of the glass closest to the door handle. I know the door is designed to have water pass through it but the amount that goes through leaks through the vapor barrier and door card, eventually leaking onto the inner door sill/kick panel. This leak even happens during a heavy dew and not just a rain.

What are some solutions you guys have come up with? I'd like to know what parts to buy... I've been looking for a new window squeegee but havent had luck :/

Well, I ran water over the window outside and it wasn't spilling into the cabin at the door sill. I won't be able to determine true effectiveness until a real rain.
