Water getting trapped in door?!?!

[stevenmalone]

I kept hearing water sloshing around when driving and thought it was the gas or something (had a lot of rain lately).  Come to realize when I opened my back right door there was water at the bottom.  My driveway is slanted and I usually reverse in, but this time I pulled in straight and when I heard the noise when opening the door it was slowly dripping out from the rear bottom corner of door. 

Anyone else have water collecting in bottom of door or advice? 
Thanks

I thought there was a tsb  for an updated lower door seal. I'll see if I can find it.

Also it's normal to get some water out through the lower door. There are drains but they become clogged pretty easily.
I would check to see if the drains are plugged first

The only one I see is TSB 11-11-20 for dirt on scuff plates.  Is that it, glock?

I think that is it.  Thx SHOdded

Thanks for info.  I lifted the lower seal and took a high pressure air blower and cleaned it.  Hopefully that works.

I had this TSB done on mine, if you can get it done under warranty do it! The new seals are way better then the old ones.

Which TSB did you have done?  If it is the rear door scuff thing I would like to see pics of what they did/whats different now?

I am aware of what the tsb says but doesn't always make sense.  What do they paint?  They make it sound like they add or replace something.

I went to the detail department where I worked and when I blew out the bottom door seals they had all kinds of debris that came out.  Its been raining here in Houston a lot lately and so far so good (since 3 days ago).  Keep you posted.  Unfortunately I am not under factory warranty...boo.

I had the same issue last year,found roughly almost a gallon of water inside the rear drivers side door,think its a common issue if you leave your car outside and especially close to trees and such,1)cleaned the bottom vinyl covers and then grabbed a small shop vac with a small hose to suck out any debris stuck inside,but at the same time would seal up the other hole so it builds up better suction.
