Water leak
Anyone know of a way for water to get under the door threshold in the gutter down there. I put new cups and siliconed them. I parked on a hill and I had water in the rear after a rain. It looks like its comming from the rear... maybe rear window?? whats that plastic piece outside on the rear corners? I don't want to tear it apart until I exhaust everybodys experience...
Thanks Oh both sides had the same amount about 3 oz's
month ago they were full about 20 oz.

Hey 99f350sd,
Had the same problem last year. It looked like the water was getting in on the cab seam starting below the window, however I wouldn't rule out it starting on up. Anyways, I resealed the seam starting under the window rubber, both inside and out. I really poured the sealer to it underneath the rubber because I feel that that was where the stream was starting. Before I posted this I lifted both threshold covers and after 4 inches of rain earlier this week they're both dry.
BTW, I also found a leak on the right side front that was flowing into the threshold channel. I traced that one back to the foam rubber gasket on top of the air box. I replaced the gasket with RTV silicone. That leak was actually splashing water onto the passenger floor.
As usual, I hope this helps.
