Fireman31 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 not sure if this helps, but I noticed that when we have a moderate to heavy rain here, the water run off from the roof pools on top of the weather stripping in the area mentioned.........I never really had a problem leaking down with the door closed, but if that spot is flooded with water and I open the rear door, splash, it drips down all over the edge of the driver seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireRescueSS Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have not had any issues with mine, but I would start by looking at your weather striping first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashSS Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 it doesn't sound like its a costly repair just sounds like you need to replace the weather stripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbarnes Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 check to make sure your wheather strip is in its proper place. you could also try and move the striker in a little to draw the door in tighter to the body. also if you think the front door is the culprit then w/ the door open and the window down put your knee on the inner door frame and pull inward on the top of the door, it bends the top of the door in to seal tighter to the body. if you hear some popping and cracking then your doing it right so dont freak out.
