We had this on our t6.1away this past weekend and with the heavy rain and driving winds the driver's side step overnight became full of water. Any suggestions how it got there? is it door seals? Thanks
I had same issue. It appeared that water was getting past the window seal where the seal is angled and not making a seal against the glass. A simple fix was to slide a short length of nylon cord into the groove in the seal forcing it to push against the glass……away this past weekend and with the heavy rain and driving winds the driver's side step overnight became full of water.

Do you use a windscreen wrap that goes inside the door ? One of our previous ones wicked water past the seal.away this past weekend and with the heavy rain and driving winds the driver's side step overnight became full of water. Any suggestions how it got there? is it door seals? Thanks
yes really poor design i guess the main market for these vans aren't bothered about a bit of water leaking from the door card i removed the card and sealed up with sealant,it was even leaking from the speakerSome water will always get into the door as the window seals are not perfectly water tight. The door is designed to tolerate this and water drains out through the drain holes in bottom of the the door. However, if the seal on the inner regulator card is compromised, then water can come into the van. It usually shows at the bottom of the plastic door card below the speaker and then accumulates in the door step area. The only permanent fix is to replace or reseal the regulator card. Mine was done under warranty.
