Situation: [Vehicle not garaged.] After a rain or a morning with heavy condensation, when I fully open my door, I notice that the door expels water at the opening in the bottom corner (see pic). In fact, it happens on both doors. The upper parts of the door adjacent to the roof and A & B pillars are dry. Slight wet spot near aforementioned door drain hole on the rocker panel area. Parked on fairly level ground.
No water makes it inside the cab!
My Guestimation: That horizontal weatherstrip on the exterior windows allows some water to pass.
My question is: How much water is normal?
From what I've read here, some water always makes it through. After a recent long rain, a small but steady stream poured out for about 8sec; medium dripped for another 5sec; slow dripped for another 15sec. I'll get a container next time, because the sun shines now. I'm not near a spigot & hose, but I know where to find one if needed. On humid mornings, no more than about a dozen drips fall. That weatherstrip seems tight and in good order except for about the last 2" near the door lock [both D & P sides], where I could more easily peel it back with my nails. I'd wager it's 21yrs old, though. If I don't have to purchase a new one, well, that's always nice. Are your experiences similar to mine? If you open your doors after a rain and wait for 15-20sec, what drips out?
