Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Gang....I have been battling sporadic wet carpet for the past year in the front passenger side a few times, and the rear passenger side once. I'd dry them out, and it'd be fine for awhile. I cleared all the sunroof drains and cleared the drains near the battery (not sure if any of them were clogged in the first place). We've been having some major rain in the Northeast and i randomly happened to touch the bottom part of my passenger side door, and the door panel was not tight against the door. I felt underneath and it was soaked! I felt the driver's side door and that was soaked as well. I've read about a membrane needing to be replaced, but it seemed like a pretty expensive part. I do have aftermarket speakers from previous owner, and i'm wondering if they were unable to put the panel on correctly for a tight fit, or if the membrane is even there anymore. A couple questions: Do you guys know how exactly the membrane works? Does it prevent water from getting into the door from the bottom of the door? I'm unsure as to which part of the door needs to be sealed off to prevent water. Are there any alternatives to getting this fixed, besides purchasing a new membrane for each door? Seal it with plastic or use rubber stripping from the hardware store? Any ideas would be helpful.....Temps are below freezing now and i don't want the water to freeze inside the doors. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Yes, the door membranes behind the door panel prevent water from getting inside. I would pull the door panels and check. If the aftermarket speakers are keeping the door membrane from sealing, then you might have to find correct ones, or some other way of sealing along the bottom edges.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
