Don't be afraid pull the door cards...it's a skill we all need ... Glue the broken plastic bits back on with RTV and clamps.


Not likely to be a sunroof drain but I suppose itds possible.
Thanks, and sorry about the double post. Got caught in some do-loop trying to post originally. Drains should be clear as I snaked them with weed wacker line and then a flush with water. This is the first time I actually saw water running from the bottom of the door, on the interior side of the bottom ex stripping, and into the car at the door sill plastic protector. Not a a huge gusher, but the carpet just wicks it up when it gets under the sill.

Yeah, I’ve got some experience with door cards…enough to know they never get better when you have to remove them. I try to grab any spare cards I find on eBay when the removal damage is catastrophic, but I can’t find any rear doors lately.
