Default Water leak

2014 C7 Targa Z51. Told this model has a wet door so water from side windows drains down inside the door to the bottom and drains outside the cabin. I had a leak and water drained into both sides of cabin and carpeting soaked. Anyone else experience this or have knowledge of this system?

Strange you should bring this up. While talking to my friend about my 2019 GS. He told me that, that he heard some one bought a new C7 when they first came out (2014). Had this problem. Several trips back to the dealer. Problem was never resolved. GM bought back the car since it was new with the lemon law. This was in the Detroit area.

All car doors I have seen do the same thing. I doubt that is your problem. I would put it on the channels for the roof that drain water away.

Need more info.

I could ascertain the OP implying the water is leaking from the top of the side window where it meets the roof, when the doors are closed, on both sides!

Weather-strip condition, window tip in would be my first comments.
Second, what I'd call indexing...is the side window going all the way up in it track to meet the W/S?
