Default When she sits in the rain...the doors hold water

Does anybody have a problem with their doors "holding" water after it rains? When I open either door after she's been sitting in the rain, water runs out where it was trapped between the lower edge of the door and the door sill. That can't be good.

I think mine does that also...my door sill is always wet, but I don't plan on keeping this car long enough for it to rust sooooo?

Yep, same deal. Today it was pretty warm out and the windshield started to fog from the moisture building inside the car.
I'm going to have to find a way for it to drain.
Might notch out the lower seals.

i wondered about that. i was in the car wash (didnt feel like doing it myself) and it just looks like it runs down the outside of the window and right into the door. buti havent had any problems or noticed water leaks from the doors.

haven't noticed anything unusual from the rain in my 2005.

I have noticed that after I wash it and am drying off the doors I have to dry all around and underneath the door. Everything gets wet. But none of the interior (***knocks on wood!)
