When you spray the window seal area you have to do it in a systematic manner, spray a small area and check that area for leaks and proceed around the seal. Dry off the window after each step, blasting water at the window does not tell you the exact spot that it is leaking. The water could be going in one area and showing up in another.
The area shown in the photo could be a weak spot as it is the junction of four sealed joints. The L shaped pocket is a drain that allows any water in that area to go inside the door and run out the drain in the bottom corner of the door.
The seals in this area should show signs of being compressed when the door is closed.
