Water inside door

I have a 2008 F-250 super duty and have what sounds like water inside the drivers door. I was letting the snow and ice melt off the truck over the last 2 days. Now when I hit the brakes it sounds like water rushing to the front. Where would be the best place to drill the hole to let the water drain out?

There are holes already in there. They may be blocked with the plastic wrap/covering on the inside of the door.

My suggestion would be to remove the door panel and use a shop vac or rags to remove the water. I would also inspect the drain holes for blockage.

id save taking off the door panel as a last resort. i would take a small piece of wire and poke around in the holes that are already there and see if you can unstop the holes first. if youre like me and dont care if you have an extra hole or two in the bottom of the door, drill away. any spot will work just as good as any other.

monsta-where abouts on the big island do you live? i just got married on kukio beach about a month ago.

MY 03 has this happen if I park on the down hill in heavy rain. There are hole right at the lower gasket that get pluged with junk. Just clean them out and it will drain just fine.
