I had this too.

I completely dried the gaskets/foam pieces out and then fitted the stanchions with flexible black gutter sealant around them.... hopefully that'll do the trick.

The wet gaskets/foam pieces can be a potential future rust problem and possibly cause corrosion in the mirror wiring connectors.

I think they are there for sound proofing, as far as I can see they don't really work as gaskets as such? Either that or they're just rubbish at gasketing, hence becoming completely soaked and letting water into the door panel.
