Possible water leak issue….

BMW FOREVER · 08-15-2014, 03:12 PM

Yesterday I drove my car in the rain and when I got home and opened the rear right door, a lot of water just splashed out as though it was just sitting in the door sills. The other 3 doors were completely normal…on further inspection the rubber seal was soaked in water and pressing it caused even more water to come out…any idea what could be causing this? There was no water entry inside the cabin though.

Perhaps the seal at the bottom of the window on the outside is not
fitting correctly?

is this seal visible from the outside ?

I had this on mine having only purchased my car 2 months ago (used). Under warranty I went back to BMW, they have replaced the "door membrane". It has now solved the problem.

I was getting water sitting between the door and the sill. It was nearside rear door.
