Default passenger door filled with water!??

So recently i got stuck with the water just slightly above the bottom of my door sills, but there were people there ready to pull me out. Couldnt have been sitting there much more than a minute....anyways, now when i go to shut my passenger door i can hear water sloshing around in there, not just a little either, a fair bit...any ideas how it got in and how the F to get it out??

Yeah Dave, that happened to me too.

On the bottom corner of the door there is a rubber grommet. Remove it and everything should come out. If not the drain is plugged up with mud and gunk so run some water in there to flush it out.

I did this to mine and didn't have any issues.

This is for in case you're out on the trial and run out of water in case of a breakdown. always fill your doors up with water in case of an emergency like this, just be sure to have that nifty attachment that hooks up the straw to the door so you're not under your jeep grabbing a drink...


jk, but seriously like they said check that rubber gromet and clean that out and rid the water from the door, it's not good to leave it in there like that.
