    Just a month out of the 3/36 warranty.

    I was sitting in the truck the other day when it was raining and heard a drop noise. Found it coming from the drivers side door/fender area. Couldn't really tell. Figured it was normal, because, well it was raining. The carpets were dry and so was the headliner.

    We have gotten rain all day everyday this week and I have noticed that when I open my driver door I will see water dripping from the door drain into a plate size puddle.

    Before I got pulling he door panel does anyone know of a specific area I should be looking at?

    There is a drain hole in the lower front of the doors.

    I understand that. None of the other doors (double cab) leak a drip when opened after or during a rain.

    The amount coming out of the drivers door, I would think as being excessive. Along with the audible drip noise.

    I had it in my 2013 passenger door once. I poked a twig up the hole to make sure it was clear and it never did it again. Then again, I only had that truck for 6 months.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    A dab of black silicone adhesive at each end of the window weatherstrip where it meets the window surround felt may stop water from entering the door.
