Default water in doors

All 4 doors on 2014 Malibu fill with water when it rains. Door weatherstripping won't let water out unless it is pulled out

with a pick, widen the drains at the lower door seam.
check the glass sills and make sure there are no gaps.

if it drains with the weatherstrip out; trim the weatherstrip, modify it or remove it. the weatherstrip on the body seam seals the cabin,
