door water leaking

[krnau 0]

After having spent most time of the day reading old topics about this...

 

there are 2 questions please

 

 

1 "There should be a plastic membrane between the inside of the doorcard and the door itself. If this is damaged or missing, water will gather in the footwell. " a plastic memb-whattttttttt??? I have nothing there

 

 

2. holes in the lower part of the door in order to drain water???? I don't have them! :|

 

 

 

The water gets into the car coming in between the door card and the door itself..... any help

yes put a plastic membrane back in the door will solve your problems

there are holes they must be blocked.

I didn't have any membranes either - just take the door card off, and silicone/tape a thick rubble bag over the door, making sure it's good and sealed all the way round. Put the door card back on and bob's your mother's brother!

I had a look and the lower part of the door has no holes :|

You will see a row of drain holes along the bottom of the door if you look up from underneath. They are close to the outer skin of the door. When it rains the water gets into the door between the glass and the window scraper (the black plastic strip along the base of the glass). It then runs out through the drain holes. If the drain holes are blocked the lower part of the door fills up with water and from there it seeps into the car from behind the door card if the membrane is not there.
