I have a '11 Yukon Denali. About a month ago, I noticed the carpet next to the driver's side 2nd row seat was wet after a pretty hard rain. I got it dried out and tried to determine where the water was coming from, but with it still raining it was hard to tell.

When the rain stopped I did some tests with a hose, and I pulled the decorative sill off on that side to give myself a little better view. From what I can tell, the rubber seal is perhaps not making a tight enough seal at the bottom of the door, water runs down the channel inside the door, but outside the seal, and runs over the seal at the base of the door. It's almost dead center on the bottom of the door frame where water actually comes over the top of the seal, and with the sill plate there will run over the plate onto the carpet.

Has anyone else seen this? I'm wondering if it might just be a bad seal. It all looks ok, but that doesn't mean it is making a good seal I suppose. I thought I would float this to see if anyone else has had a similar issue before I just replaced the seal, but that's where I'm headed otherwise. Thanks!

Nope, just out. I'll take a pic in the morning when I have good light.

I understand that you are seeking advice from your fellow forum members to resolve this issue and I might not be able to give you any technical advice but if you find that you are unable to resolve this issue and may need to have a dealership look into this, I would be happy to locate a dealership in your area and set up an appointment for you. Please private message me if I can be of any assistance.

Mine was doing that but with a new gasket. Turns out it wasn't pressed in properly. They are exact fit to the door size so if it's off a little on one part another will suffer. Make sure your getting good grab all around.

Here are a couple pictures. You can see where the water is sitting and if the sill was on it would run over the sill onto the carpet

This is a little harder to see but on the underside of the door I can see where the water runs down and drips onto the frame
