Default Perishing Seal!

This applies to older non-240 older models too-

Newly acquired 1985 245, rained almost every day since bringing it home. The rear side windows are collecting moisture in the lower rear corners.
I suspect, to some degree, this is part of the design.

The problem is, water is penetrating the LH and there is a slight drip onto the panel covering the spare wheel. The seals probably need replacing.

Question:-

In the absence of new seals, does one:

a) Use a proprietary sealant and attempt to stop water getting in?

b) Let the water in but make sure it gets out?

c) Does anyone have a miracle cure not covered above?!

I thank you...
