When it rains, water puddle is formed under rear doors. By where m logo is. When I open rear door, it splashes out.
Sometimes water will splash on my shiny shoes if I don't remember to be careful. I am wondering if any member experience same.

That's definitely not normal. Does the interior door panel or carpet get wet?

this exact same thing happens to my right rear door...I havent gotten it fixed yet but the issue from what Ive heard is that the water drainage gets chocked so the water has no way to drain out from the car

I had my right rear vapor seal replaced three times. Two consecutive times the dealer repair shop didn't get good adherence of the seal, and it leaked again as soon as it rained hard. The last time they sealed the crap out of it, and assured me the door would fall off before that seal would again.

Your concern should be with any water that saturates the rear floor board. There is about 6 inches of foam under the carpet there, and it all needed to come out of the car to dry and be disinfected to ensure there wasn't a mold problem in the future.

Best of luck.

I had the same issue as well, its the water barrier inside the door, its a pretty common problem with the F10. There is a plastic barrier inside the door that seals the water from the electronics inside the door. If that barrier is breach, water will leak thru the bottom of the plastic panel.

Does the car have a sun roof?

If so drainage channels will be blocked. Had same problem on Audi Q7. Drivers footwell was damp also.

I do have sunroof. Couple months ago, I felt water in floor carpet behind driver seat area, I took it to dealer, they could not find anything. I guess I will take it in tomorrow. F10 is more weather striping than my house. Lol

Not familiar with the F10 sunroof arrangement, but guess most cars are similar. You will need to rod the drainage channels for the sun roof.

Surprised dealer didn't find anything?!

My similar problem was resolved by the door's vapor seal being re-attached. The quote for the repair was $450 but ended up costing less than $200...at the dealer.
