Water in my passenger side rear door!

[Benji]

i noticed this the other day, but when i brake, or accelerate coming out of the drive, i hear water sloshing around. I was a bit confused at first, and so started listening more intently as i edged forward and slammed on the brakes. lol
Anyway, i got out and investigated. As i opened the passenger side rear door, there was my answer! Water sloshing around inside the door!

Looks like i'll be taking that door apart aswell as the 2 on the driver's side when my rear footwell was wet!

Have a look under the door, there are some drain holes (hidden by rubber seal) but these can become blocked either by dirt, cavity wax or the door seal its self. Wiggle a bit of wire in the holes and you may find water just pours out!

Job's a good-un!
I simply peeled some of the rubber seal away and water seemed like it was dying to get out! I gave the drain holes a bit of a clean, and also the seal.

I think i somewhat overestimated the problem it's solution!

Thanks

No issues, you could trim seal a bit to stop it in future and I would check all other doors as well!

Yeah i'll check the other doors aswell, no doubt they will probably be at least partially clogged.

seriously this has been doing my head in for months, someone told me on here it was my petrol tank. It's freezing outside but I'm going to check now!
