My 23 Maverick weatherstripping on the bottom of my doors is holding water. After washing or after it rains even a day later, I can open any door and it drips water if I stick my fingers up to the rubber on the bottom of the door and pull it away quite a bit of water comes out. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or if anyone ever noticed this problem and it’s not coming out of the weep holes

I noted it on my '24 and thought that the rubber was holding water from the weep holes in the doors. Really not sure. I parked totally outdoors for the first year to ensure I had no leaks inside. I use the carport now and (of course) do not notice it any longer. However, I do think the water collecting was reduced after a time before I started keeping the truck under cover. Perhaps the rubber stripping has to conform to the doors over time? I still check it from time to time when it's gotten rained on and haven't found a significant amount of water. I think initially the weatherstripping was covering the weep holes. I live in the South and maybe the heat here made the weatherstrip conform faster.
Edit: Others have had problem also, especially on rear doors. See Bwicka's post below here.

Yes, I have to remember after washing or a large rain event to pull the seals away to allow them to dry. Mostly and issue with rear doors.
