Last couple nights rained heavily in Seattle and I noticed that my driver side rear door collected a lot of water on the inside. When I swing my door back and forth quickly, I can hear the sloshing sound of water. Where exactly is/are the drain holes located at? I'm thinking that the drain hole(s) are clogged up? I had to flex the rubber weatherstrip that runs along the bottom of the door to get all the water to drip out (which took like 10 minutes). The other three doors didn't do this. Anyone can help on this issue? Thanks.

I had similar problem and as you held rubber seal til it drained. Went to Ford dealer lot and they showed me a plastic plug on bottom curve of door you can remove and leave out for door drainage. For some reason that is only door that Ive seen affected

I have the same issue, same door.

I took the tall plug out and drained the water.

Went to the dealership and they said to remove the very bottom plug, it's horizontally oblong. They said the problem is dirt in the trough at the bottom and you can just scrape it out with a clothes hanger. The drain plug isn't necessary and you can leave it out.

They said they clean the doors for approx $25 each

I know, old thread.. But man am I glad I found it! Getting ready to leave for a trip from Mesa AZ to Ocala FL and suddenly (after a rare 3 day rain in Mesa) my rear passenger door starts sloshing like its a cooler full of 3 day old ice!
Came here, did a search, and its fixed in seconds. Thanks a bunch!
