The Ders

Well... Rain season has started, and it seems as though I have water leaking into my drivers side door. Nothing getting inside the car, but water actually getting inside the door itself and not draining. Every time I drive it, it sounds like there's a swimming pool sloshing around inside my door. I've washed my car on almost a weekly basis since I've gotten it depending on how often I've driven it, and this hasn't happened at all. The car sits outside because I don't own a garage so this is about to get real bad real fast for me. Any ideas of what could have caused the water to get into the door and not drain out? I'm planning on taking it into the dealer on Tuesday but I'd like to hear if anyone has any input.

Thanks.

At least it doesn't get in. After heavy rain, or after a car wash, I notice some water on my drivers seat on the side facing the door, dripping down it.

There should be drain holes in the bottom of the door. They may be plugged with crud, a nail or something similar should work to clear them out. Also chek the window seals and rub strips, that's probably how the water is getting in. Good luck!

Yup. There are 2 drains at the bottom of each door, and if they get plugged the door will fill up with water.

Happened to me one, and a real WTF kind of moment. Once I jostled the 2 drains around water starting to pour out.

Remove the 2 plastic grommets in the bottom of each door. They will collect more crud then if they're removed.
