My 05 997 has just been in for the very same thing soaking wet door panels... took it to specialist and said it's caused by inner door skin seal degragration.. the water that gets past the outer door window seal then onto the door skin and out through the drain holes in the bottom of the door,well thats how it should work... but over time this inner skin sealant that measures half inch foamfiller becomes brittle and drops out thus allowing water a free run onto door panel,carpets etc steamy windows for the wrong reason.. Porsche know about the problem and my local dealer gets at least 2 a week they replace the whole inner skin £100 per side parts only. and involves window mech removal and air bag disconnect dohh. Got my local specialist to do it he cleaned off the old sealant and used a silicone to re-seal,fingers crossed its stood up to the elements so far he remarked that 997 are bad for leaks seems that after a few years this is common and that the 996 door linings were cheaper better and easier to fix. oh well maybe they will make a proper face to face rubber gasket mod.
