Driver side window is leaking water <video included>
I just got my Si and today I was washing it and I noticed that I started hearing water run down the driver side door.. when I opened the door the water dripped out from the bottom of the door..
I'm checking out the weather stripping and it looks ok.
Has anyone had this problem?

Re: Driver side window is leaking water
is the water seals in between the window and the door? it looks normal i took my door panel off and i noticed that panel is jacked up I don't know if that could be a cause of the problem.

Open the door and run some water over the outside of the door and closed window with the panel off. See where the water is coming from.

Replace them. First make sure the window is aligned correctly. My drivers side is off a tad and lets wind in. Not water for some reason.

Re: Driver side window is leaking water
aligned with the runners on the side? if so then that's a yes.. i took off the door panel and poured water on the outer window when it was fully rolled up and it was leaking all along the outer window seal.. maybe someone tried to break in to it and the seal broke..
idk if i need to buy a new seal or is there a way to fix it

I thought there were holes in the bottom of the door in order to allow such water to drain?
My Civic hasn't seen rain for a long, long time and the last time I washed it was over six months ago and I certainly didn't inspect the bottom of the door so I couldn't tell you how it looks when that gets washed.
I know I'm used to water running from the bottom of the doors of lots of different cars I've washed before though. Most (all?) seemed to have some sort of drainage at the bottom of the door. I've never noticed a car that didn't have that drainage.
