Dripping noise

Hi all,

Got in my car tonight after a big down pour of rain and I heard a load dripping noise coming from the passenger side window area. I did a quick check as it was dark but everything was dry. Never heard the noise before when its been raining (owned the car 6 months). The dripping lasted abot 10 minutes. Ive no sunroof so that cant be the cause. Anyone experianced this before, is it normal? I know the roof sounds tinny when its raining but never heard dripping before.

Thanks all!!

Rain dripping inside the door from where its run down the window and got past the wiper seal at the ends, dont worry it should drain out of the holes in the door bottom.

Whilst you are checking, make sure all the drain holes at the bottom of the door are clear and open. That way any water draining down inside the door can get out. Check all the doors and tailgate whilst you are at it.

As said above check the Drain holes are not blocked. Had this once before and I could clearly here the water sloshing (is that a word) about.

Ive checked my doors, i'm thinking the square holes at the bottom of each door are the drain holes? All look clear even poked them with a pencil. Many thanks everyone for your advice! Very Happy
