Default Right now the next problem

So I am slowly but surely curing the faults

Heres the next, water in the passenger side sill when it rains ggrrrrrr , bought another rubber and fitted it and rain still getting in was told rubber was fine, is this another "common fault" with an easy fix?

Its quite amuzing, as i accelerate i can hear it sloshing to the back of the car and then to the front when i brake.

Check the drains at the bottom of the doors as the water is probably going down past the rubber at the bottom of the windows and sitting in the bottom of the doors and then spilling over, past the door card.

Water going into the inside of the doors is perfectly fine as long as the door drains are clear.

Cheers will check, Wierd thing is its not getting into the car, footwell is dry, its getting into the sill so I'm assuming the rain is entering into either the A or B pillers.

I see impreza's have a few "common faults", was just wondering if this was one of them with a quick fix if not then its going to be a standard process of elimination and investigation with a watering can.

well i think i know what it is, just checked the drainage holes in the bottom of the door and they were blocked with little squares of glass, shook the door and theres loads of it in the bottom of the door. Will take panel off and get the henry in there to suck it all out. Will see how it goes and let you know.

Cheers
