Honda Repair: 2002 Honda civic water in front door panels, honda civic 2002, drain holes


Question
Hi, I have a Honda Civic 2002. I have just opened the front door panels to change the speakers. When I removed the door panel and speakers I found out that there is water inside the door panel. Would you be able to tell me how water would be able to get in the door panel. There does not seem to be leak by the window and the water is in the bottom area of the door in a splattered pattern like it was sprayed there.

Answer
Mayank, the only thing I can think of is that it's spring time and if you're in conditions where it gets warm and then cool condensation can and will form on the inside of the door, this is normal. A good example: Do you (or know someone who) wear(s) glasses. If you're outside on a very cold day then enter a house your glasses immediatly condensate. Imagine that on a much larger scale(door panels) where actual water can appear. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure the drain holes on the bottom of the door are not plugged so the water can't accumulate. They are very small(approx. 1/4 in.) and are I think 3 of them.
