Front doors leaking and wet speaker

Featured Replies

I'm truly sorry for making another leaking door thread, but I can't find much info about the front doors. I just finished sealing the rear doors. Now I noticed the front doors leaking. I have removed the driver's side door inner panel (had some trouble with the window motor) and now noticed, that the speaker's lower part of the foam membrane is soaking wet after we had heavy rain (picture nr.1). I checked the passanger's side speaker through the panel grill and it seemed to be dry. The driver's side speaker has been remowed and reinstalled with silicone and screws by the previous owner, but I can't see how this could cause this problem.

Also the passanger's side door seems to leak a little bit (picture nr.2). Should I remove both inner cards and reseal them with silicone as I did the rear doors?

I'm much the same, sealed doors up and left the door cards off and could see water dripping down from speaker. Removed speaker to watch again. Just need some more rain now.. which shouldn't be long. I thought to maybe silicone speaker surround in but you say yours was already like this and still leaking so unsure.

Just take a large bottle of water and pour it on the window. The outer lower window seal strip isn't that water proof. Especilay in the front strip  end. Siliconeing around the speaker surface won't help as the water falls on the plastic cage of the speaker inside the door and runs down the speaker cage inside the cage and seeps through the foam membrane into the saloon of the car.  I will eventually remove the passanger door's inner card aswell to see where it's leaking.
