          i dried it this morning so we'l see if its wet again tonight or if it was because the door was open for too long in the rain. considering the passenger side was wet too i highly doubt it was that. got it booked in at the dealers anyhow. Gotta find a time to stick my club sticker on the car so they know not to mess with me lol! im sure they wont. My peugeot 107 had a leak in the boot, was renowned for leaking that car but only noticed it when i was deep cleaning it when i put it for sale. didnt expect to have any problems with it this early, but if its gonna happen itl happen now.

            So after some testing with a hose I've concluded that it's probably a build up of water from having the door open in the rain. Something I've not experienced in my other cars but with the shape of the doors it's no wonder water will sit on the ledge an seap in over time. Bit dumb to jump to such conclusions!

                  Any chance of you posting a picture of where the water stuck?

                    seem to get a lot of drops of water sitting on the bottom and side inside metal work, the bit under the door, guessing this is normal though. my complaint was when water dripped on me when i was driving, it was mostly on the top of the door on the inside metal work and was running along there and the rubber seal. it was raining so hard when i had the door open for a good minute, probably enough water to sit on that top ridge and drip on me the next day. dried it all off and i havent noticed any since, tested it when washing. didnt get a photo was in a hurry for work that morning, have pics of the water on the bottom of the door but again it could be a normal thing, my dad noticed it on his new VW.
