I get a similar problem, but it is not coming into the interior. Mine is on the drivers side front door. When I open the door after a decent rainstorm there is a bunch of water sitting between the door and sill. I can't figure out if the window is off track or if it is something else. Could it also be a clogged sunroof drain? I also can't tell if the water is draining from inside the door or if it is just sitting between the sill and door.


I have a pretty good idea on how to take the door panel off, but I am not sure if I would be able to see if the window is out of alignment or even how to fix it. Window seems to go up and down fine. Although it does make a slight clunk when it goes all the way down.

I am not sure where your water is pooling (between the door and the sill?). You open the door and you see water pour out, but it isn't wet on the interior?

If you run into trouble getting the panel off, do a search, there was a post about that about a week ago too with a bunch of replys. Once you have the panel off, you can run the window up and down to see if there are any problems. If you are hearing a clunking sound, the track may be a little off or some other problem. You will be able to tell a lot better with the panel off so you can see and hear the window mechanism.

Yeah it is weird. Whenever I open the front driver's side door after a rain storm I get water in between the bottom of the door and the frame. I can't tell if it is just not draining from the frame properly or if there is actually water inside the door that is draining out when I open it. I will mess around with it this weekend and see. My front left tweeter is starting to cut in and out and there appears to be some sort of grease on the window on the inside up near the front mirror and tweeter, which leads me to believe the window is not properly aligned. Does anyone know how to reset it to the proper location? I will do a search in the threads as well.
Thanks.
