Water in the car door Car door drains are small and can get clogged with debris sometimes which can then cause water to slosh around inside the door cavity
Answer: Here’s how to get water out of your car door.
Ha! I’ve been there. Water in the car door can be super frustrating, and then just plain annoying. Listening to the sloshing sounds can drive me crazy. Plus, it’s an anxiety spiral, when water is where it shouldn’t be. Unwanted water never seems to turn into a happy ending.
Check the bottom of your car door. What you’re looking for is a small hole stamped in the steel. In some cases, it could have a small decal over it.
That hole (it’s actually a drain) can clog with debris. If it does clog, the door can’t drain or will it drain much, much more slowly than it fills up. Hence, slosh city in your door. In the case of some decal-covered holes, build-up can occur over time with tiny pieces of leaves and other stuff, so there could be sludge back there. Try to remove it if you can get at it with something pointy. A pen tip has worked for me.
A good way to test that you’ve solved the problem is to wait until the next soaker. If the hole was clogged and you removed the obstruction, water should drain right away. If it doesn’t, it might be time for a visit to the mechanic.
Question: How do I get rid of this ice out of my car door?!
Hi, I had a lot of sloshing sounds after the heavy rain somewhere around the front passenger side of the car.
Today, after a rain and snow it’s freezing and my rear passenger side floor is a real ice rink, the rag is covered with ice. All windows have a thick ice frost on the inside of the car as well.
What could be a cause and where should I bring my car?
