Message:		The drain for the doors are very thin and they are located on the door edge on the bottom. If yours are still there, you can clean them out with a hacksaw blade. Mine were completely rotted away and so after I repaired my doors, I drill 1/4 inch holes in the bulge just inside the door. Seems to work fine. Your problem with the water may not be with that however, check to make sure your door is adjusted properly, and the door seals are "sealing". You can test this by taking a 3" wide piece of paper, and closing the door on it at several places of the door. After the door is closed on the paper, pull the paper out. If it comes out too easy, the door isn't sealing at that point. IF it is hard to pull, or won't come out at all, then that area is a good seal. Give it a try. Jim
