water leaking into both front doors
I noticed a little bit of water running down the speaker grill on the passenger side front door today. The water is running from behind the tweeter speaker grill at the top of the door panel onto the very top edge of the door panel just under the tweeter grill then goes down behind the upper door panel to the lower section of the panel (just below the switch pod). Then it drips down the speaker grill getting the cloth covering the grill wet. I checked the outer door weatherstrip the water doesn't seem to be getting by the seal and the body or even under the seal. I haven't pulled the mirrors off to see if they're not sealed.
This has not happened going though the car wash only when it rains.
Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks
John

Headliner looked dry , where are the drains to clean out and is there a procedure to clean them ? I will give that a try either way.
Thanks for responding !

Keep the doors closed and use the rear doors, spray water around the doors and see if you can get them to leak.
For moon roof drains some have used weed eater plastic line, the rear ones not so easy to do as you can only access them from the trunk. I have used compressed air at 25 psi.
I'm thinking the only real way to clean the rear drains is take the whole headliner out and the track assembly. If I find the time this summer I'm going to do that on a 90.
