Hello, this cant be okay?

I was changing my window regulator and noticed water inside the front door. The speaker inside the door was also moist. 

 

Is there a way to fix this or is this just one of those things that is "normal"? 

Doors are designed so that huge amount of water can pass through them. Window seals are not watertight when the window is up. So all water that is on the window will basically drain through the door. What you need to ensure is that the drain holes under the door are not blocked.

Water passing through the door is also the reason why it is not recommended to use sound insulating foam inside the doors.

Quite a few threads on this.  E.g.:

Thx for the answering. I am very suprised that the water is supposed to run through the door.

Pretty standard practice for most car manufacturers, making the seal at the base of the window to be a complete seal would be a hopeless task.
