F150 PB Platinum RR BAP in production 4/5/23
My truck is usually kept in the garage, but had it parked on the driveway with some heavy rains. Now, driving the car, I can hear water sloshing back-and-forth in the front passenger door. I assume this isn’t normal? Any thoughts?

Actually, on closer inspection, it might be in the frame below the door…

Picked up a new 23 last weekend.. got it home and found ice in the right rear door cubbie. Not sure where it’s coming in from though. Spends nights in the garage now.

Your door drains are probably clogged. There should never be standing water in the doors

Did you get underbody coating on the truck? Might have sprayed drain holes closed if it is below door.

I did have the underbody sprayed. Must’ve clogged the drain holes. Is there a good reference on where I can find them to unplug

Maybe see if you can inspect a new truck at the dealer. Should be easy to find when new and clean.

Is it in the door or in the body panel below door?

The other concern in addition to opening holes as needed is how the water got there if it is in body panels. Doors always get water in them just by design happens on every car but should quickly drain out bottom.

I believe it’s the body panel. I think my best best it to take to my dealer and have them take a look. After driving the truck, it sounds like a lot has now drained out, I don’t hear as much, but I do not want to have rot issues down the road.
