Default Water in doors 2010 Tahoe

My wife has been telling me when she opens her door after a hard rain that there is lots of water in the door. After telling her many times that it cant be, well it is. its holding water and a lot of it. Is anyone else having these problems???

There should be small drains in the bottom edge of the door that are usually covered with a small rubber flap.

Some aftermarket rustproofing programs used to clog the drains up which then causes the door bottom to rust out.

Use an old coarse (18) Hacksaw Blade with the teeth pointing downward.
That'll hook some of the debris and pull it out.
Run it up in there with the teeth pointing left then right.

This happened with my 2009 Tahoe today. : ( I pulled the flap on the bottom of the door out a little, and the water came streaming out. I have never had this happen on any of my trucks before.

Once you get the water drained and it dried with a towel, you might rub a little Silicone Grease on the flap and it's contact area. That'll repel most sticky stuff for quite a while.
