rear doors holding water

[petay_pan]

Have noticed this for a while that the rear doors of my 52plate cupra release water when I open them, no water gets in the car it all just sits trapped between the inner door seal and the side skirt.

I read ages ago about a "fix" of some sort for this problem on the rear doors, anyone have that on their favourites list because I keep getting the pollen filter leak guides but not the rear doors one.

Want to get it fixed because car keeps steaming up the front window on the driveway.

any suggestions?

Open the door and you'll find a rubber strip running along the bottom. If you start at the end of the door you should be able to pull a flap of rubber away ,(not off), from the bottom of the door. If you stick your finger in and run it along you'll be able to feel three holes in the bottom of the door. You need to make sure the area behind this rubber flap is clean and clear of any gunge and that also the holes aren't blocked.

i had water building up at the top of my drivers door seal. took it to the dealers and it was fine for while but now, like you i have water building up at rubber seal at the bottom of the door. thynkfully it's not leaking into the car, yet! It's going on my warranty list

i have just started to get this on my rear passenger door, has just started to tricle into the rear footwell. , think i heard you could cut a sliver of rubber from the strip to allow the water to drain out? Does that sound like a good idea? or am i getting confused??
