Break-in = Water leak!!!

Somebody apparently broke into my car using a screwdriver on the drivers side door frame. Water leaks like crazy whenever it rains or I get a car wash. I'm not sure if its because the door is bent, or because the rubber inside it ripped. Anybody have a solution?

is it leaking in from the edged of the door? if so then ya.. its probably the rubber around the door is either ripped, or missing.. also make sure the door is not misaligned from the break in

good luck!
