Jim & Scott, 

I think what he means is that the water is building up on the door sill right 
above the outlet. If not that sure is A LOT of water in those doors.

IF that is the case, what he is talking about happened to mine. 
Because I had later model door seals I had to cut some of it to 
get my door to close and now water gets past the seals and buildsup 
in that exact same spot, I think this is why the heater vents get 
all rusted right there. But anyhow, since the seal is water tight 
no water can drain once it gets in that area between the door sill and the
door seal (boy that sounds weird!) and when it peaks over that "ridge",
where the heater channel is stamped to the body it runs over and 
gets in the heater channels and carpet. 

SO what I did was cut about a 2 inch piece that is right where all that water 
builds up and it drains nicely. Just  a temporary fix, but it works for now.

Hope that helps Emilio.

Dave in L.A.
