Water sloshing in passenger rear door

[11henrs]

I’ve got a ‘17 expy and just recently I noticed when I open the rear passenger door there is water sloshing inside. There was a post going about this but I can’t seam to find it. What was the common issue with these 15-17s that had water leaking under the carpet and stuff? I do have a sunroof but haven’t noticed any leaking or water there. TIA

I have a 2016 and notice i always had water dripping on running board and located 2 weep holes on bottom of door and that resolved issue.

Cool. Haven’t noticed rust yet. Will take a better look this evening. Thanks

I've had that. Crud gets in at the window and plugs those weep holes up. They are under the rubber trim. I pulled the plastic pieces out and stuck a wire hanger in there to convince the backed up crud to leave home. Clean windows during tree crud season now.

The non-clasp end of a plastic zip-tie works well, as it is flexible and does not damage the paint like a wire hanger might.

On my 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4, I have removed the rectangle black plastic plugs, cleaned out the openings, then replaced the plugs - assuming there is a reason for them to be there.

I had it on my 2014. If was from the sunroof. (believe it or not) Also, check to make sure the drains on the door are clear

I took the plugs out of all the doors. No need for them.

Stop parking under trees and drains won't get clogged.

Common problem. Pull the out the plastic drain plugs on the door bottoms and leave them out.

Never ever a day in its ownership been parked under a tree but I’ll work on the clocked drains

I think the only way water can get inside a door is at the window glass seal ... for all intents and purposes. Thats why I clean mine out (window glass seal) after tree crap season.

And in my neighborhood that tree stuff is EVERWHERE, you don't have to "park under a tree". Oaks put out oak crap, pine throw off clouds of green powder, Maples .. stuff, Cottonwood is the worst, Tulip tree's, Ash tree's. I got tree's EVERWHERE. Friggin mess. We got Gypsy Moths this year to boot. Did I mention Butternut, Hickory, Walnut, etc. Love it!

All the Ash trees are all dying. Emerald Ash Borer
The Acorn tree's are my favorite.

I have a 2010 and had it in 3 of 4 of the doors. Like others mentioned it’s a 2 part problem. Water technically shouldn’t get in through the “seal” but as they wear it finds its way. Then of course the crud buildup at the bottom of the doors. Since I figured out what was going on and cleaned out the doors I find I only get a little water after extremely heavy rain. My cheat is I just park the truck on a angle (pop a curb) and it seems to run right out. I live in the city so I can just move it to whichever side of the street I need to tilt it to. Haven’t had to touch them since
