solving water leaking into cabin/floor near door.
as posted earlier in this thread.
after heavy rain, some owner reported water leaking into cabin near door sill.
this is my car. got a chance to find out where the water comes in.
water traces between door 'skin' or panel and under the door.

as i suspected, when raining, water seeps thru outside door glass and drips at the bottom end of the glass in the door.
then it drips on to the speaker and leaking thru the speaker bracket/holder.
after 'puddling' at speaker holder, it then seeps thru door frame and speaker holder, resulting in water dripping into the cabin.

location where water seeps in.
what i had done is putting thick plastic (rice packaging) behind the speaker holder.
double tape, rice plastic packaging, masking tape.

putting back the speaker, the plastic had to fold downward, protecting the speaker and the speaker holder.
btw, make sure the plastic when folded fully covered, or better if extend downward more than the speaker holder.
*sorry no pics of this.
after this mod, water dripping onto the speaker holder will directly go down directly into bottom of the door.
at the door bottom got water outlets that let water flow outside.
hope u all understand..
