Water

Any time the car is wet (from rain or washing), when I open either door, water spills onto the seat. It must pool just above the door somewhere. Very annoying as I inevitably have nothing to wipe it off my leather seats than my hand or the clothes I have on!

Any advice?

it's probably the water drops that are sitting on the seal right above the window(the seal that goes all the way around the roof).....it's happened to me, and I just open the door slowly and that stops the water from falling.

I know what you mean, The water just pours in when its been raining hard and the roof is covered in water, I have also noticed when you open the rear hatch in the rain water pours off the deck lid into the trunk. It must only rain in America.

It's only water... I keep a cloth in my glove box just for those instances...

If you look at the end of the drain channel by the A piller exterior you will find that there is a small drain slot there that drains down behind the black plastic piller cap . make sure that this is not clogged. This is only a small slot, so if the car is at an angle it wont be able to handle the runoffand will spill over.
