I'm getting water build up in the door and kick panel of my 2002 SS Monte. Is there a better way to fix this other than drilling into the bottom of the panel and making a large drainage hole. It fills up with water when I take the car through a car wash and when it sits out in the rain. I live in Oregon, and don't have an option of parking indoors, so it sits in the rain quite often. All the door, window seals are in good shape, there is no moisture buildup on the inside of the car. I'm not sure what else to try, I'd rather not drill holes in my car, but will if that is the best solution.

Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
PT

 

There is a drain hole/plug at the bottom of the door I think, sometimes it gets filled with dirt and can't drain properly.

 

The drain hole/plug that Enzo mentioned is almost at the farthest edge of the bottom part of the door, the part that bulges out, not the thinner metal that seals against the bottom of the car frame. This happened to me, and I actually went ahead and drilled straight through the door to alleviate an emergency situation. It had poured and somehow there was a gap between the window and the door probably from my window guard. Afterwards, I discovered that drain....it's incredibly little! Poke around in it with a toothpick and watch the disgusting gunk stuck in it come out and then the water that was logged in it. Drilling may be the best thing because it will seriously get all of that water out. Just put some nail polish clear coat around the metal since it will rust if ya don't.

 

Definitely put some kind of paint over it if you drill it.
