I am having the same problems with both front doors leaking. The dealer tried fixing it and during the process somehow created a leak in my driver side panel which now collects water every time it rains, and the water drains out of the front clamp above and onto the media center. We got rain last night and I went to wipe up remaining water on the driver and passenger side floors. Lifted the carpet and I noticed that there were holes drilled into the floor to drain the water. Can anyone confirm that there are only the plugs on the floors for water drainage, not regular drilled holes. I am livid about this!!!

Can anyone confirm that there are only the plugs on the floors for water drainage, not regular drilled holes...I don't recall seeing drilled holes in the floors like this. I am livid about this!!!

Oh wow...someone at the dealer should be pimp slapped! There are drain plugs in the floor but those holes are not factory.
Wow ! I think that they would get non-factory holes from me ...

I had a leak in the same spot, and fixed it by adjusting the angle of the windshield.
I had noticed that the gap between the door and the a-pillar was wider at the top of the door than it was down by the hinge. So I loosened the bolts holding the windshield in place, pulled the windshield closer to the proper position, then tightened the bolts. It's still not perfect, but it no longer leaks. I might eventually redo it so that the gap is perfectly even, but with the leak fixed I'm not in any particular rush.

What the hell is that!
I'd be pissed. Didn't the moron see the big rubber drain plug?
