Door Leaks When It Rains

[MarcPro]

Anyone have an ansewer for why my car has alway's leaked when it is left parked in the rain on a downward facing slope?
I get rain water gushing out of the weap holes in the doors when i open them.....
The dealership i bought it from screwed me when i kept bringing it to their attention....they said it's not happeining....like i'm blind or something...idiots.

How steep is slope? The water may be running to foward of the drain holes in door. when opening door the angle changes.

The slope isn't steep at all....just as long as the front end is facing down a little in the slope....i open those doors and the water leaks out of the weep holes like crazy !~

Check that all the weep holes are open. Some have found the weep holes are still covered with tape. Otherwise what you see if normal.

^^^^^^^^ditto on checking the drains, you might want to go to the extreme and remove the door panels and make sure nothing is inside doors.

BTW... the tape may be clear so you'll have to look at it.

I know whatcha mean. Any metal on a new car is E coated first so it should be fine.
