It's normal for some water to get by the dew-wipes and into the door. That's why there are drain holes in the bottom of the door. Your drain holes are probably all clogged up. Look at the bottom of the door and you'll see them.

That is right. Take your door panels off and clean the door out.

Most likely plugged drains. Take a safety pin and clean them out. Even a little water gets past good rubber. However (and this was my Memorial Day project) a LOT of water gets by if your window rubber is rotted out. I spent yesterday afternoon changing mine, and it looks so much better. Plus the window doesn't rattle anymore.

If I were you, I'd pull the panels and clean the doors out. If there is that much debris in the door it's bound to happen again. Remember that the stuff inside the door will stay wet and could start some serious rust problems.
