The water gathers at the end of the curtain rail at the rear of the sliding door and on the other side, just behind the driver's seat.   The latter happened when the van was level front to back but leaning towards nearside, i.e. away from the leak.  Sometimes it happens when the van is stationary and sometimes when being driven.  I think it must be from around the windows above but not sure.  Have tried using the hose to see if I can force the water in but nothing happened except I was soaked!

Try putting polythene over the top side windows and seal round with masking tape and see if that cures it. That's how I found my leak, different van but same windows, maybe same problem.

Agreed - or better to use clear waterproof plastic tape, as some masking tape has adhesive that "sets" in sunlight and is then very difficult to remove. As suggested, you can make a very effective temporary waterproof cover that way.
