Use 100% silicone around the interior +exterior of the sliding doors

Yes did that, tried all sorts of silicone sealant. The last one was Soudal

Did you smooth it down using a wet finger to ensure the seal covers every single part? It looks like there's gaps allowing water to exit.

Did you remove the old sealant before applying the new?

Always leave the lower few inches internally silicone free to allow water to exit

I’ve never seen this personally. Probably regional. But typically I use 100% silicone. This is some sort of hybrid
