Could it possibly be coming through the pollen filter rather than the door? The "old" Fabia has this problem, see Fabia forum.

Do you still have that wire running through the door that you had in it before?

yes but its not coming from that height it seems to be wet all along the door bottom and leaks through the bottom. from stuffing the door area with tissues it seems to strart from 3 inches up the door and nowhere near the wire (thus being positioned so high up).

Its not the pollen filter as you can visably see the leak.
