This started happening recently as far as I know...but every time it rains somehow water gets caught and pools up inside my passenger door. Then when I open the door it comes splashing down the front door panel, speaker and gets some water on the carpet. Very frustrating. I don't want the interior to get wet or the electronics. It doesn't come in while iits raining with the door closed....like I said just pools somewhere and then gushes in when I open the door.

Anyone else experience this or know how to fix? I looked at the weather stripping on the top or the door and it looks intact. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

I am new here, but I thought that I read about a technical bulletin regarding this issue.

It was something to do with the door alignment.

I am sure that someone else will come along and correct me though.

interesting. This just seemed to start happening this year....or at least I started noticing it this year...I rarely have a passenger so it could have been earlier 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

I didn't know there was such a thing. Where would I look for that/a blockage? Would that lead to the water filtering down and pooling in the door somehow? 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

No that talks about the rear door. My issues is the front passenger side (the U.S. passenger side). My whole door speaker gets soaked and the door panel and the scuff plate right where the carpet ends. It's quite a bit of Water that spills out once the door is opened after a rain. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

As Stan said, Check the sunroof drains, you'll find them in the front corner of the sunroof channel. Ou rs was running down the a pillar. Get underneath the car and you'll find the bungs where the drain tube exits.

the sunroof drains can only be seen when the roof is open? I've never crawled up there to look. How would these drains catch that much water that it literally splashes down on to the door panel when I open the door after a rain? Would that mean the seal around the sunroof is bad?

Where about does the drain empty under the vehicle? 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Yes you have to have the sunroof open to see the drain holes, there are two at the front and two at the back. If you read the threads above it will explain the location of the holes under the car, they are at the front of the door underneath and behind the sill. The one above the air suspension tank is awkward to see

Well I opened the rear passenger (US passenger side) and it did the same thing...so must be the sunroof drain holes.....now how the heck to unclog them haha. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

You can use strimmer (weed whacker) nylon cord as its stiff but flexible, I used wd40 with an extension nozzle to blow the tube through, it did work! I guess if you have a low pressure airbrush you could try that, but I think the nylon garden cord would work, but not too much pressure

so you start on the sun roof end and push it through gingerly? 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC
