The rubber seal on the bottom of the door gets stuck to the door and stops the drains from functioning.
I believe they are for wind noise, mine now have notches where the drain holes are.......

UNREAL!!! I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd share. I have a 2013 Yukon Denali, bought new, and still only has 21K miles on it (work from home). Never been in a flood, rarely use car washes (but have), and park in garage in the winter/snow months. My son was in driveway playing basketball this evening and asked me what was dripping out of my Yukon (hasn't been driven in 2-3 days, and had been raining a LOT for same 2-3 days. I opened the door, and the dripping turned into a stream, I pulled the bottom rubber door seal partially off and it came out like a FAUCET for at least 4-minutes (LITERALLY)! I was in shock watching it. I than checked the front doors, no problem, went around to drivers side rear door, and heard sloshing and door was HEAVY. I grabbed a 3-gallon bucket to see how much would come out, and it got to 2-gallons before the solid stream started trickling. HOLY $#!7
2+ gallons of water??? SERIOUSLY!!!
Looking closer forward corners of both doors are rusted (paint gone) on the outside, and I can't imagine what the inside looks like, but will be pulling the panels tomorrow to find out. I can't believe this has been going on since the 07 model without a fix/recall for this! How many issues need to happen here GM? I own 11-GMC Trucks for business, and 2 for personal (all 2013 to 2017), hoping the Sierras aren't doing this, or I'm DONE with GMC, after 8-years and over 25 vehicles of being loyal!

Wow me too 07 denali passenger back door,
Currently waiting letting water out, reading all these post
Thank God it's a easy fix.
I even had a leak at the back hatch, I looked and notice a bolt was missing and judging by the paint is still flawless it was never fasten by the plant.

my 2009 YUKON XL REAR DOORS ARE FILLED WITH WATER AFTER A WEEKEND OF RAIN!!! I WENT TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FOR WORK THIS MORNING AND HAD TO STOP AND GET OUT TO SEE WHERE THE SWOOSHING LIQUID WAS..... I OPENED MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND WATER STARTED GUSHING OUT THE BOTTOM- THEN I OPENED REAR DRIVER SIDE AND SAME THING. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE- BUT I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES......

Bmwme,

Did you notice just surface rust or is there an actual hole?


Ltzhoe08,

I am not entirely sure if this is common or not. I am going to research this further and I should have an answer soon. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you!

Remove the oval plugs along the bottom of the door behind the plastic strip and keep them out. Mine have been for like 7 years
