Has anyone ever experienced this or know the problem and solution?
The morning after a significant down pour and severe thunderstorm I noticed a small splash of water on the forward edge of the R Front doorframe, inside the cabin, Passenger door. If you dropped a string from the R front AC vent it is on the floor and curved part of the plastic there. I carefully inspected the door jam, rubber gasket, and window, all was dry. That is when I noticed a small drip of water, coming out of the lower part of the handle on the window shield frame, the handle where you can grab to assist yourself getting into and out of the truck. In VW Bugs we use to call them suicide handles or "Jesus" handles, the place you grabbed as the passenger when things got hairy - "Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus"....
Anyway, has anyone else seen this problem? It looks like the drip was coming out of the spot that the lower screw would insert, to hold the handle on. It was not a huge drip and the carpet was not wet, but it was enough for me to notice water inside the next day and see it drip when you grabbed the handle. Any thoughts?
"Life is tough... tougher if youre stupid." "Just think, right now, all over the world there are people exercising bad judgement. Somebody, right this minute, is probably making the mistake of his life"
