Water in both door wells after a good rain

[2015Pumpkin]

Hey everybody...
After a good rain my 2015 Mustang has water setting in both door wells. Havent noticed any getting in on the floor yet. Was up to the Ford dealership the other day about another issue and brought this up. Naturally the customer service mgr 'hadnt heard of any issue with water there...'
Was wondering if anybody on here has that issue and if theres any kind of 'fix' for it. Thanks!!

Door wells as in the door pockets ?

If so, has it ever had any work done on the doors (e.g. for the stereo or central locking etc) that could have compromised the membrane ?

Where the black plastic trim says MUSTANG...thats where the water sits...

Well that's technically the exterior of the car since it's outside the door seal but I wouldn't think water would get in there unless you were actually driving in the rain. Now I want to go look at mine to follow the flow path it would have to take to run around the door and down to there without running down the side of the car first.

Some cars have drain slits in the bottom of the doors. Not sure about Mustangs. Might check that.

I don't think that's anything to be worried about.

There are drains in the bottom of the door that are meant to empty onto that area of the car. When it rains, water gets inside of the door (also normal) and then drains out in that area. Water in that location is not a problem.

Wow.

Or when you wash your car

You will get water there when it rains or you wash the car. The main seal is just inside that panel. Yes there is also seal on the door itself. The door seal is kinda a supplemental seal. Blocks some water/dirt/grime and helps with road and wind noises. There is a void where that 2nd seal meets the quarter panel jamb area. So water will just run right into there.

The water on the door sill with door open after a rain or wash is normal from the door drainage holes yes - but water intrusion to the interior onto his floor mats or carpet, no that's not normal and not from the door drainage holes.
