Bobbyheinz Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yep and I keep meaning to post up about it! Anyone know how to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 It's perfectly normal, only way to fix it is to move to a country with no rainfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I do have an easy fix for this: park with the nose down hill. Mine collects water but only when parked nose up. Water gets in and gets trapped below the back of the door, but seems to drain ok from the front of the door. I suppose if you are parking on a flat you maybe stuffed however.

spursmaddave Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Same as when you have the drivers window open and wash the windscreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Think on the bright side, at least with your car the water filters outwards, on my old roadster it used to filter in and soak the passneger footwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chettle Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Same as when you have the drivers window open and wash the windscreen does my F****** nut in.... but i learnt to wash the windscreen with the windows closed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 For the OP - have a look where the doors water-seal is. The 'problem you have described isn't a problem. It's outside of the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here....park nose up and water collects....park nose down (even slightly) and no water . The car should not do this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have this too. Glad to hear it never seems to actually soak anywhere that causes a problem (just the sill) but I don't remember it happening before the last few months. Surely it isn't SUPPOSED to happen from the factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
