After the last two hard rains, I noticed the door sills were wet. Today water dripped the bottom of the passenger door. What's going on? This car is five years old and I've never seen this happen before. Are the widow rubber scraper leaking? In the snow, road salt and chemical country this would eventually eat out the bottom of the doors ()$&#%¥!!

The doors are completely sealed as there are no weep holes at the bottom of the door like some manufacturer's products. It could be that a front or rear upper seal is starting to give up on you - "look at the ones attached to the body in the door opening". A good way to test this is with a fresh dollar bill - that's what we used at the body shop to determine if the door was sealing correctly. Place it along the seal and close the door, you should have to "tug" on the dollar bill to pull it out. If it slides right out easily then that's an area where water could be entering.
