Water in front doors

[Lenny]

Hi Guys.

Washed the car for the first time on a bit of a slope and when I opened the front door quite a decent amount of water came out of the bottom drain holes. Anyone else had this happen?

Nope. usually washing with high-pressure water thing (car specific, like that thing) on a level ground, and never had this issue.

Were your windows really dirty, or did you aim for joints maybe ?

Can't say I've experienced this either. Can I ask was the nose of the car facing down the slope or up the slope?

Pointing up. Washed with a normal garden hose. It's got weather sheilds too so I'm not sure where its getting in. Unless that's how its getting in... If this rain lets up I'll wash it again and have a proper look.

Those are the subaru ones ? as in https://dhmhontcsm7nv.cloudfront.net/media/4973/f0010va000_lev18-weather-shields.png ?

only thing I can see is all the water falling on these dripped on a single point of the window (next to the side mirror), and forced its way through because of increased water flow that the window seals may not have been designed for ?

That's the ones. Factory fitted. I'm thinking along the same lines. Whatever it is its the same both sides.

Have the same thing happening to my car when parked nose up the driveway and it rains. I suspect it is coming into the door thru the window area probably towards the rear part of the window if it only occurs with nose up higher than the rear.
