After heavy rain, when I open either of the front doors, water flows out as the doors open. It seems to collect between two seals on the door. Are there any drain holes in this area I should be looking for or is this normal please? |

Its not really a fault, its a lack of maintenance. How many of us have ever pulled the plenum out, I can assure you if you dont, and you dont clean around where it joins the firewall you will get some pretty sizeable rust holes eventually and you will really start to get some serious water in your FF. |

Yup thanks, I found those but they are between the upper and lower seals (for want of a better description). I was just a tad concerned that there was another drain somewhere. I wonder how much the door holds before it allows the water over the sill into the car. |

Oddly when the drain is put back into the bulkhead and seated correctly there is plenty of room. Mine must have either been put in incorrectly, or displaced when some suspension work was being done. No need to modify anything on mine and now draining ultra-freely
