nneilan Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) So when it rains or I wash my wife's Journey we get water in the rear passenger door. :angry: Pretty sure it's the seal on the window which sucks. :blink: Has anyone else had this issue? I am not the most mechanically inclined person, so I haven't tried taking the door apart but have a feeling if I don't want the "stealership" taking care of it I'm gonna have to man up. Maybe someone on this forum can shine some light on my issue. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!! Edited April 28, 2012 by nneilan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 all doors have holes in the bottom somewhere to let water drain out . look to see if they are closed off or plug up. also look at the rubber seal at the window sill where water might be coming in. good luck p.s. you could always drill some small holes on the bottom if you cant find out how to drain it. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I second 2late4u's thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 There was a problem on earlier DJ's that a piece of clear tape was left installed over the holes in the doors. Just open the door and look at the bottom. If you see tape over the oval (at least on 09's) hole, cut it open or peel it off. That should do it. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 that tape is suppose to be there but it is also is to let water out it always leaves part of the hole uncovered but it can be removed without problems. always thought it was a joke anyway... i used to work on the assy. line in st. louis building the minn-vans before i retired and then it was shut down and now all the vans are built in canada. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymouse Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 No need to drill. Take a pipe cleaner and stick it into the drain hole on the bottom of the door and let the water run out. Sometimes those drains get blocked. I park under a tree and this happens all the time. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidHorvath Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi guys! Im a new owner of a Fiat Freemont (Dodge Journey in Europe), and have the same problem. When im open the right rear door, a few dl water flow out from inside the door. The drain hole works good. But is it normal the water get inside the door? I cant find normal rubber sealant near the window, just a brush to get out the dirt or something. Another problem the plastic/rubber coverage in the bottom of the front screen. It's a little bit wavy. It's not seal . Is this a sealant, or just a coverage? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
