water leaking through speaker grills

[PlanZero]

I've had this problem on 3 dsms now. When it rains or I go through the carwash, water trickles from the bottom of the door panel and through the bottom of the speaker grills. I tried putting thick plastic behind the speaker mounts to prevent speaker damage, similar to the plastic all over the door, but then I hear it vibrating from the speakers. I realize the problem lies in the weatherstrip seal that runs along the bottom of the window on the outside. I can hear it trickling down inside the doors in the carwash. Does anyone have a part # for this?

Wow on 3! I've never seen it happen that's crazy. All I can show you is http://www.oemmitsubishiparts.com

You can find anything there. But there must be missing waterproofing inside the doors because some water will always get past that felt tip weatherstripping and should be able to just drain back out.

It's insane. I got the #. It's $88 for one! I don't understand how the water is diverted to wind up at the speaker grill instead of the drains. I've examined this many times with the panel off and I just can't find a solution, except to replace that strip. I'm gonna try one from the junkyard first, and maybe heat it first so I can bend it so it's more flush to the window.

Ya it's really the only place you'll ever find a new piece like that. Junkyard is always a good option cuz factory price is crazy. But there should be this plastic covering on both sides of the doors attached with a thick nasty black goo and some times people will rip that out and the goo won't seal back up perfectly Sometimes.

Although getting to that side of the inside door will be impossible tho so honestly that's crazy to hear. Good luck
