2011 Ford Explorer Water Retention in Doors

[peterk9]

Hi,

Just came back to the forum as this same water issue is one I am having in my driver side door. Living on the "Wet" coast it has become a real pain in that water pours on one's feet and I am now starting to see slight corrosion along the bottom of the door.

Wondering if one of the Ford folks could let me know how to get in touch with an area service manager for a Canadian customer? I am located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Will be taking my truck to the dealer as this issue is getting a bit ridiculous but just figure I'd be proactive.

Does anyone have a comment as to what the actual fix was/is??

Thanks!!!

Are the drain holes clear of debris?

Thanks Peter for the service info!

The water actually isn't 'in' the door but it gathers when the door is closed between the bottom of the door and the body of the vehicle. If we get a heavy rain there can be quite a bit in there.

If you look at the video for the original post in this thread you can see a bit better.

There is no TSB for this. Are the drains clear/clean?

The only reason I can see for water staying in the doors would be blocked drains.

^^ what he said.

If you are retaining water, you have a clogged drain
