Default Super Bubba'ed?

I was getting water on my drivers side carpet very often as of late so I decided to see exactly where it was coming from.

When I pulled the kick panel, I saw what seemed to be a small, absorbent piece of material (Much like a sponge) Duct taped the the inner part of the kick panel.

Wow.


At least I think I found the problem, my door is misaligned so water is running down the gap into the kick panel and then through the carpet.


But a sponge?

I would use Viva instead. Super absorbant and rugged like a rag. You can wring it out frequently!

You should lose the sponge and drill a drain hole out the side of the fender.........a little spigot for trim would be nice too....
