Water Runs Out Whenever I Open Drivers Side Door

I was wondering if anyone knows where this water is coming from and why it is not draining properly. Is there a diagram out there that shows the water drain channels for the truck.

Out the bottom of the door? I'd check to make sure your little drain holes on the bottom are clean. I've seen them filled up with straw and other outdoor junk when stored and used in more adverse conditions.

Rust proofing used to be a huge culprit in that too. After they'd spray it in the door, they would neglect to clear the drains. My older brother worked at a dealer back int the late early eighties, and said those old Rivieras would come in with those big old doors weighing a hundred pounds more than they should.

I think clogged drains in the cowl can cause this tool. If you park under a tree that drops pine needles or other small leaves that can get down in the cowl and clog up the drains then you could have this problem. Check to make sure your cowl is clean, especially in the corners near the fenders.
