JoeP Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hello all, So after a heavy rain I accumulate quite a bit of water in the pass. sliding door. Has this happened to any of you? I’m not sure if it’s coming in from the window seal, the lower trim panel or somewhere else. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

G B L Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Is your TC a wagon or van? The side trim would definitely let water into the doors, Check the drains at the bottom of the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 I have a LWB wagon. I’ve checked the drains and they seem ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu11frogg Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I have a 2014 LWB Wagon. I get water in the driver's side sliding door and sometimes the passenger side sliding door after most rainstorms. My father in law mentioned checking the drains but I wasn't sure what to look for -- are they just weep holes? How many are there and how big should they be? My assumption was that water shouldn't be in the doors at all and that some seal needed to be replaced. I only had time for a quick look, but the weather seals that I can see all look OK. Nothing is shredded, cracked, dried or (from what I can tell) missing. If I get anywhere, I'll let you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Nickels Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 From what I see, water gets in from the windows. The seals don't keep all the water out. That's why the bottom of the door have drainage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoorsyange Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hey! I'm new here. I also have a 2014 LWB and also get water in my sliding doors every time it rains. I feel like this shouldn't be happening. I check the drain holes regularly but is this normal?? Now my passenger side windows and locks (front and rear) are not working. Is it because of the water??

MattsTC Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Happened to me when the car wash guy "pre-spray" hit the passenger side windows too hard. Unfortunately the drain holes are small slits at the bottom of the door and get clogged with dirt. I drilled a larger hole 1 inch up higher near the back (stubby impact drill with a stubby drill bit) to make the hole. Be very careful, you can easily drill right through the outside of the door once you're through the first layer of metal and have a sharp bit! I really want the water to drain rather than freeze and expand or rust our from the inside. Edited September 29, 2019 by MattsTC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluega Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm in the same boat: 2014 with passenger sliding door taking on water. I've found my drain holes on the front doors, but can't seem to locate them on the sliding doors. Can someone take a picture? MattsTC, any chance you could provide a pic of where you drilled the new holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Nickels Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 After the rain, my front doors get water and it drains out of the bottom. I'm not sure, but the sliding doors probably get water too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyHenderson Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Anyone got a solution? My 06 connect leaks from the sliding door handle. I've just replaced the handle and seals and it still happens!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
