Well that sucks

Opened one of the rear doors on my crew cab and there must have been several gallons of water sloshing around inside the door. WHAT THE HECK???? Shook the door a few times and water started draining out both corners of the door seam. After about an hour (I told you it was a lot of water) it seems to have stopped draining.

Now I'm wondering how long this has been going on and what the inside of the door looks like by now. Hello rust haven.

Yep, pays to keep the drains open.

Clean and dry the inside and use something like por15 to cover the metal and protect it. Just be sure the drains are clear when done.

Might look at the window seals to see if they are shot too.

x2 on the drain plugs need to remain clean. But instead of using the POR 15 I'd suggest spraying more fluid film into the door. And keeping the drain holes clear of debris.

Yes, you guys are correct. The drains were plugged by bits of degraded rubber that came from somewhere inside the door. Removed the rubber and it flowed like Niagara.

I'd hit it hard with some wd40 that'll displace all that residual moisture in their and then maybe a maintenance spray once a month or so.

Degraded Rubber, what year is your Truck

I have noticed on my truck, the hard rubber trim on the bottom of window glass (pushes onto door sheet metal) has already started color changing & small bubbles have developed.

I had just replaced all those seal's on my 2006 F250 last year.

U mean to tell me Ford has cut quality back that much since 06'
