    My wife drives an 2008 Altima, and some how the passenger front door is filled with water. When you open the door you can hear it sloshing around, then will drip out near the corner of the door after you open or close it. I have looked all over and can not fathom how all this water gets in there.

    The seal on the window seems tight. There are no apparent holes in the door where I can see water getting in. Has anyone else seen this happen?

    Yep, all car doors take on water by default. It's not a defect it's natural. The drain holes may get clogged and wont allow the water to come out.

    Thanks guys. I will check the drain holes, I did not even know the door had them. You learn something new everyday.
