Default Water problem

Hey guys. I know it has been a while since I been on but I have been very busy with 2 jobs and getting ready for college. It started raining real bad today and i got in and drove to my girlfriends house. I stopped and i heard water splashing around like right next to me so I know it is in the door panel or the outter door panel. I was just wondering if there is a common problem with them doing this and any possible problems. Thanks in advance.

The only common water leak I know of is results in the passenger side foot well getting soaked. But if you could hear it slashing around, and the passenger side foot well is not wet, that's not it.

You might just need to take the doors apart and check all the weather stripping and drainage spots.

I've got the exact same problem, heard water sloshing around while driving around today, got out and shook the hell out of the door. Theres certainly water in there.

Maybe you could keep fish in there

Sounds like rust in the works! Drain hole plugged? I'd start taking the door panels off and go searching, or "fishing" if you will

that was my first thought, great now I've got a door rotting from the inside out. I'll have to check the drain plugs tomorrow.
