    We are just transitioning into the rainy season. Last night we had a pretty fair (not torrential) rain, and I noticed water on the passenger side door sill in the morning. Has anyone else noticed leaky door seals?

    This is a 2008, 38,000 miles, never been hit.

    The drain in the under side of the door is plugged. Clean the drain with a peace of wire or small screw driver. Hal

    The door seals are -inside- of the door sill. So yes, water can get on the door sill. It runs down the outside of the window, some flows into the door, and out the bottom of the door onto the door sill.

    Unless you're talking of the plastic bit -inside- the car. In which case the window was left open. ;)

    Cool, thanks.

    Coincidentally, my car's name is also "Hal".
