New to Acura/Honda - question about water in doorsill

[Victorofhavoc]

im going to re-quote myself as to what the problem/concern is as it seemed it was missed.

“The vapor barrier is useless IMO since it’s got holes in it for the wires to come through and the floppy padding just collects moisture as well”.

The black padding, that’s outside of the vapor barrier and proximal to the door card is damp…. This is a problem. This problem is exacerbated by a door that is not effective at sealing and a vapor barrier that is not completely sealed as described.

The padding is closed cell foam, it shouldn't be absorbing moisture.

Are you finding that if you wring it out it releases water?

There is noticeable moisture on the inner (between the vapor barrier) and outer portion (between the door card) of the foam. The foam is damp

If you wipe down the foam is it still damp, though? If it is there's something wrong. It's not uncommon to have moisture there, especially with how much of a gap some cars have with the seal or if you roll the windows down when they're wet, but it shouldn't be pooling water. Is the drain clear?
