water inside door panel

Post by SP33DN3ON » Fri Apr 02, 2010 7:27 pm

Just installed brand new speakers the other day, and my passenger side was not sounding well so I took the panel off and I saw that the whole inside (where the window is) is full of water!!!
Any ideas where the water is coming through?
Thanks

Are you sure that when u put the door panel back on that the window seal inside the car gets put under the panel.

There is nothing wrong with the window seals, I doubt they are water tight. The drains at the bottom of the door are plugged.

There are slots along the bottom. Use something that will not scratch the paint off to unplug them.

If it has been undercoated heavily, that may block them. Or if the door has been repaired, the body shop/individual did not do something correctly.

I always wondered that...when I wash the car or it rains...and the windows are up those weather strips don't seem like they would hold the water back looks like water would just flow don't into the door panel?

so how come is it that the door panels don't flood? :tardbang:
