wet door panels

Left my car at the audio car place to have the speakers replaced.

Mechanic called me and said the door panel is wet and needs to be fixed and recomended i contact my garage.

What is causing the leak and what do i need to replace to fix it.

thanks

If you are not famuliar with the concept of a vapor barrier,then before you ruin your door panel visit a local home insulation company and have them explain to you the concept.
