Mark-UK Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 If it rains when I open the passenger door there is a build up of water in the sill on the Z plastic bit that pours out. Doesnt happen on the drivers side, plus that side if I wash car or rinse with hose there is a slight leak that side which presume are related, any ideas anyone please.

polarbear Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Mine does this all the time and as it is outside the door seal is nothing to worry about --- apart from the wet shoes of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Can't really say, since I only use the drivers door.... Only open the passenger door when cleaning the car and usually there isn't any water collected there. Double check that the door card is snug, because I think there is some sort of drain for water for when water comes off the window.

lamby Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 yeah i always get water collecting on the sill on both sides when you open the door after washing the car or after its rain and a mini tidal wave comes out from the sill. its not inside the car or anything it just collects on the sill.

Husky Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 depends how rainy it is i just driove through what i would call a monsoon, past the written off bmw z4 ( hahahaha) hate bmw's and then checked, because the black plate is before the rubber seal it'll always happen.

M13KYF Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 don't get water on the plastic sill but do on the lower metal sill. Check your seals. There have been reports of seals going and water getting iinside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been reports of seals going and water getting iinside no water is entering past the rubber seal, its generally if you go through some standing water it tends to flick the water under there. no damage done though.

Ian Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I always get this, I had Nissan look at it when I first got the car & they said it was normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I always get this but water never goes past thr rubber seal too . However since stripping my boot completely i have noticed after washing the car water in the boot well i looks like coming from the presure vents on both sides of the boot after the wheel arch. The vents are supposed to work as a one way valve and seem to do their job when i shut the doors or whille driving. It is a significant amount and i'm corncerned it will dammage my amp It is getting checked at Nissan tomorrow but they told me upfront that this is not a common reported problem but i guess if one does not strip out the boot you would not notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rentech Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Anyone else get this? Happens on mine as well. I park on quite a steep hill (facing upwards), not sure if this is relevant. I don't notice it if I park on the flat or facing down hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
