Leaking Door

My car is a 2002 BMW 330D Touring, which does not live in a garage. When it has been raining hard the storage compartment in the door trim on the passemger side fills with water. There is no sign of water anwhere else. Have you a clue as to where it is getting in, and what could be done about it?

The damp proof plastic membrane inside the door between the frame and the trim will have perforated and needs to be replaced.
