lou Junior Member Offline Always expect the unexpected Posts: 165 Romford Gender: Drives: Omega V6 2.5 cdx 1998	Wetness at bottom of door... 06. Sep 2011 at 20:06 I have noticed recently that the front passenger door gets wet at the bottom where the trim ends(rounded bit of the side pocket and right up to the speaker. All trim intact, the skin behind is intact and can not find any likely causes. Has anyone ever had a similar problem after a lot of rain?

Rubber seal around door can get old and shrink and then let water in. It doesnt poor in, rather just seeps through where the rubber doesnt quite make a tight seal, but can leak in at the bottom of the door. A good coat in vaseline for a few days should help. Just make sure you clean off the excess before anyone rubs against it. Bit old school, but is in the book for aircraft rubber seals. Cheap fix if it works.
