If it's coming in through the door seals then you can bend the top of the door in a bit to make a better seal.  Do it carefully and with the window down so you don't break it.

Do you mean the seals /guides that the window glass  runs in or the actual door rubber seals ?

went about changing the rubbers but main dealer said they where perfect?

Not sure what you mean there,   you asked the dealer to change them ,  did they,  and again which seals ?   did they not suggest what the cause was ??

( know just one of the two rubber door seals are  very expensive was quote £112 for just the part, as one of mine is worn and badly split)

What Allan says is correct, its an age old trick for making a good seal, though its a real test of strength and skill, but before you try that, ensure that the door hinges and latch/striker plate are correct/adjusted.

sorry its not the door seal but the seal where the window goes into the rubber.

Looking at mine, as the glass comes up, the clearly compresses the inner part of the top window seal.

Noticed that when the door is closed, as it compresses that  seal, you can also see it move the actual metal frame inwards and it even compresses the rubber door seal. 

Does it on both front doors.

Are you sure the draft is from the window seal and not the door seal, they are only mm apart ?

Have you tried closing the window and door with a piece of strong paper in between and when closed does it easily pull or fall out, indicating a poor seal ?

ill try the paper today. but im certain its the door as i taped up the top of the window from the inside to see wud it stop it and it did

Have you tried lubricating the window seals and channels with silicone spray - eg http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/lubricating-penetrating-oil/3-in-one-professional-silicone-spray-lubricant-400ml

I use this stuff about 2-3 times a year on all my rubber seals. Seems to do the trick to keep the weather out, as you may already know, AYGOs can have problems with water ingress. It's easier to apply than a spray silicone!

It comes in a bottle with a foam applicator, so I turn it at a slight angle to get into the side channel grooves. You squeeze as much fluid on the pad as needed. It's very similar to the shoe shine bottle applicators!
