Default Water Stumped

Today when I got into the SC I noticed that the passenger side door panel below the speaker was wet. It was wet from the bottom of the panel and up about 6-8 inches. I looked but could not see anywhere that water could enter. All the door seals look good.I checked under the door and saw several what looks to be drain slots. It's been raining a little but I can't see how water got in there. Anyone else ever seen anything like this before?

BTW,my speaker in that door isn't working!!!

You say all the door seals look good - are you talking about the ones around the edges of the door and door frame? Water will get into the door through the window slot - how is the seal there? Some water will get in even if the window seal is good, that's why the drains are there. The door panel is easy to remove - do a search - and clean out the drains. Replace the window seal if needed. If the speaker is already dead, the window motor and doorlock are next, $$, fix it soon -

All the seals look like new.The drain slots are open,I ran a little wire up through all of them. I am going to remove the door panel and try to figure out how the water got in there and replace the speaker. I just don't see anywhere that the water could enter. Yes,I am worried about the other electronics in there getting fried. This is a MUST DO
