are your ummmmmmm.... "Window seals" properly installed? the part at the bottom of the window that keeps water from getting in. also found on the doors
if water is getting through, i doubt the "seal" is working
i'll try to get pick of what im talking about

Re: del sol owners. quick question dealing with water getting stuck
I have read the link and I felt the had to be an quicker way to unclog the drain ports without removing all the interior panels and while that is a good way, here is a quicker fix. My wife complained of water sloshing around in her car and I peeked down into the window cavity and found she must have had at least 8 inches of water trapped in there. I could see one of the rubber drain ports down in there with my face to the gap and strong flash light, I run a piece of 1/4 inch nylon tubing over a length of coat hanger wire to keep it rigid until I hit the hole, I held the wire while sliding the nylon down snugly against the rubber drain port slowly rotating for center, when I felt confident I had the nylon tubing stuck in the drain port hole, I held it in place while withdrawing the wire, then applied compressed air to the tube, it gurgled a moment and blew the blockage out as I could tell by a rush of air under the car, man did that drain out quickly, and all I did was pop the center plastic loose a tad so I could better see down into the window cavity with a light, but no disassembly was required to clear the drain.
