    So here’s the problem the water is coming over the metal and soaking the plastic and running down the black sticky seal and leaking and running into my truck getting the carpet wet image.jpg

    Look for gaps or wrinkles where the black adhesive meets the plastic. Any gaps are where water will leak through. Push the plastic back against the adhesive and maybe apply heat from a heat gun so the glue reactivates.

    Reseal these two areas of the plastic barrier. Also double check the drain holes again in the bottom of the door.
