I then decided to do some research, and I am now a member of these forums. After doing some reading, I made a quick video of my car door,a nd I also noticed that my passenger door does not even have the drain plugs in the bottem. This may have been how the water got into the door last night when I was driving in the rain. But I am not sure. They may have been taken out because of previous problems with water in the door.
Any suggestions? Should I get new plugs? I am going to do the rust treatment as soon as I figure out how, but I guess to plug or not to plug is my delima.

The drain plugs are in the bottom front and rear corners of the door. That is where the water appears to be coming from.
They may be partially plugged, take off the door panel and clean out the bottom of the door.
By design some water passes through the interior of the door, this come through the rubber hole in the rear corner of the door between glass and steel.
DO NOT plug the door drains or you will convert the car to a water carrier.
I will attach a photo of the door where the water comes in.
