Water in door

[CrashTestDummy]

We have this issue with our '10 PPV on the rear doors. Dirt buildup with age, and what looks like a door seal that seals up the holes when the doors are closed contribute to the water sitting there. I've taken to wiping down the space between the lower door seal and the bottom of the door when we wash the truck. Additionally, I'll run a Q-tip through the drain holes to make sure they are clear.

I thought I was losing my mind when I heard water splashing around when I parked at the bus stop.
Opened it up and nothing was dripping out, sounded like a substantial amount of water to.

The dirt that collects there can act as a pretty efficient seal. I've had to poke a Q-tip through it to open the hole back up, then the water just pisses out.

I had to pull the weather stripping of my driver side rear door. It fills up faster than a bath tub. But once I pull about two rivets of the weather stripping out, it drains in about 5 min. [emoji17][emoji17][emoji17]

The weep holes located at the bottom of the door must be clogged.

I drove through the car wash yesterday, and noticed the same thing while I was vacuming out the back floor board. Water just poured out of the back drivers side door.

I thought I just had bad luck since I bought my Tahoe used. I'm happy this isn't an isolated case because I really like my truck...Now I just have to find the holes to clear out so the water can drain...

I have never had this issue to those of you who do. Do you park under trees? Drive gravel a lot?

Yates,
Somehow mine just fill up. I park in an open parking lot.
I really need to get down there and unclog the holes

The rubber seal on the bottom of the door gets stuck to the door and stops the drains from functioning.
I believe they are for wind noise, mine now have notches where the drain holes are.......

UNREAL!!! I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd share. I have a 2013 Yukon Denali, bought new, and still only has 21K miles on it (work from home). Never been in a flood, rarely use car washes (but have), and park in garage in the winter/snow months. My son was in driveway playing basketball this evening and asked me what was dripping out of my Yukon (hasn't been driven in 2-3 days, and had been raining a LOT for same 2-3 days. I opened the door, and the dripping turned into a stream, I pulled the bottom rubber door seal partially off and it came out like a FAUCET for at least 4-minutes (LITERALLY)! I was in shock watching it. I than checked the front doors, no problem, went around to drivers side rear door, and heard sloshing and door was HEAVY. I grabbed a 3-gallon bucket to see how much would come out, and it got to 2-gallons before the solid stream started trickling. HOLY $#!7
2+ gallons of water??? SERIOUSLY!!!
Looking closer forward corners of both doors are rusted (paint gone) on the outside, and I can't imagine what the inside looks like, but will be pulling the panels tomorrow to find out. I can't believe this has been going on since the 07 model without a fix/recall for this! How many issues need to happen here GM? I own 11-GMC Trucks for business, and 2 for personal (all 2013 to 2017), hoping the Sierras aren't doing this, or I'm DONE with GMC, after 8-years and over 25 vehicles of being loyal!

Wow me too 07 denali passenger back door,
Currently waiting letting water out, reading all these post
Thank God it's a easy fix.
I even had a leak at the back hatch, I looked and notice a bolt was missing and judging by the paint is still flawless it was never fasten by the plant.

my 2009 YUKON XL REAR DOORS ARE FILLED WITH WATER AFTER A WEEKEND OF RAIN!!! I WENT TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FOR WORK THIS MORNING AND HAD TO STOP AND GET OUT TO SEE WHERE THE SWOOSHING LIQUID WAS..... I OPENED MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND WATER STARTED GUSHING OUT THE BOTTOM- THEN I OPENED REAR DRIVER SIDE AND SAME THING. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE- BUT I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES......

 

[JEZZABELL24]

Bmwme,

Did you notice just surface rust or is there an actual hole?


Ltzhoe08,

I am not entirely sure if this is common or not. I am going to research this further and I should have an answer soon. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you!

Remove the oval plugs along the bottom of the door behind the plastic strip and keep them out. Mine have been for like 7 years
