87 300TD 124 wagon liftgate leaks

My 87 300TD 124 wagon has been taking on a little water during rains. And the water collects in the footwell of the 3rd seat. I dry it out after it rains. I thought it might be leaking throught the window seal. But it's finally occurred to me that the door seal may be the issue. Have you heard of this happening/needing replacement? I see some dirt-build-up that could/might cause back-ups (?) I also noticed some isolated rust where the body panels connect a couple of inches under the left lift-hinge. Anyway, I guess I'm looking for both causes/cures. Any clues? Thanks.

My spare 87 wagon does this if I let too much leaf debris collect. I have to CONSTANTLY keep the door seal channel clear.
