Default Water getting behind my door?!

Okay for the past couple of weeks every time it rains, I can literally hear water sloshing around in my door.Its getting in where the windows go down on the outside and I have no idea how to fix it. So i have to questions:How do I fix it and can that cause any damage to my car?

you gotta replace the mouldings, and if you have power windows it can ruin the motor and wiring, and overtime it can rust the door from the inside out


whats the year for more info

What you most likely need is to get a new belt molding. You can go to your local auto store to get one and it shouldn't cost too much. Im not sure what year yourvehicle is sothat will depend on how simple removal and installation will be (any local body shop will get that done in a couple of minutes. The only damage that you may get is some possiblerust if you let it continue to happen and a possible window motor failure.

no no no no no no no dont get a new anything lol... open your door and underneathe the hinge youll see a little hose.. this is to drain all of the water from your sun roof to the ground.. if it gets twisted wrong the water gets send to the wrong place.. just check your other door to see how the hose is twisted then adjust the broken on.. again its just a little white nozzle/hose.. youll see it wen you look at the hinge on an open door.. i had the same problem except mine leaked onto my floor and ruined my mats.. its all good now tho.. think outside the box before making purchases.. freakin moldings comon man..
