Don't replace it, cover it with this:

I've lined all my doors and trim with this vinyl mastic, including the underside of my parcel shelves.

Leaking where? Doors aren't watertight. Water will make its way past the window gaskets, it drains out of weep holes at the bottom of the doors. That's why the sills get wet.

The underside of the parcel shelf ? No problems getting it to stick to it ?

I first coated the underside of the parcel shelves with spray on adhesive to give the adhesive on the mastic something to bond to. It works a treat.

Leaking from under the RR door either gasket or drain holes into the RR floor. Cleaned out the drain holes before sealing too.

The only way to be sure if that's related to the door is to pull the door card and then put enough water on the car for the leak to show up. I've seen reports of water on the floor coming from multiple sources, most of them not the door. Don't discount the moon roof seals.
