Is it just me that gets water in the door whenever it rains. Not the drivers side - but the passenger side. Always full to the brim when it rains. I think its supposed to drain out of that hole in the front - but that only happens when I open it.

Picture: tom walks to car morning after rain - starts car - drives 10 yards - hears water swishing noise - stops car - opens passenger door - leaks about a litre on the the road - drives off.

Must be a pretty odd sight. Does this happen to anyone else??

Err... no. I suggest you take the door panel off and compare it to your driver's door to see why it isn't draining properly.

No not with me

Did have a problem after a warranty repair on the door-they removed the plastic cover over the hole in the door which let water stain the leather door panel.

So once you have sorted the drain hole remember that the bit of plastic bag does do a job and will need replacing.

If you remove it carefully and refit with a decent glue it shouldn't. I took mine off to get to the window mechanism and refitted it ok (touches wood)
