Default Doors leaking? I need help!

Okay so i have a 97 4 dr. And my front doors are leaking. I already repkaced one weatherstrip on the passenger side. Did not seem to work. I am lost on what to do now. I have towels sitting for the water wen it come in. Its pretty ghetto. Lol i need help. I wad thinking about drilling a hole in the floor if i cant get it to stop so the water can drip down.

Are the door hinge bushings in good shape? Does the door drop a little when you open it? I didn't have any water coming in, but after I replaced my bushings the wind noise cut down quite a bit.

no the door hinges seem to be fine. I think i am going to just calk all of the weathersriping on the body to make sure it has a good seal, this is the only last resot besides drilling a hole in the floor and i really do want to do that.

I wouldn't recommend doing that the stock weather stripping has breath holes in it if you look close. if you caulk that water will sit in there and the rubber will eventually rot from mold and other crap that gets caught in there. pull some weather stripping from the junk yard I can't see that being more than $10

yea you can't alter your headlights at all in PA. technically HID's are illegal but people only get pulled over for that when they have the hard core blue or purple ones
