Default water in door

Hi - I was installing my speakers and noticed that the inside of the door (behind the speaker compartment) is collecting water. It looks like water can easily get through as there are openings even when the window is completely up.

Is this normal?

Yes. Some water can get inside. The doors are not watertight. Just make sure the drain holes on the bottom are clean/open. I like to use a medium sized plastic Ty-Wrap. Look with a flashlight too and make sure no leaves, etc are present.
