Angry raining inside?????

hey im new here and not sure if this the right area for this post but iv had a blazer for a while now. i have a 2000 2 door 4x4 ls blazer and my driver side door has white streaks on the inside driver side it seems to be right on the flat part of the door where the door panel and the fuse panel would meet, it runs down to the speaker. my question is does anybody else have this problem. im wondering if the truck was hit before i bought it cause the door dosent seem to line up with the rest of the truck, it seems like the whole door sticks out about an eighth to a quarter inch from the fender and the b pillar. Iv had a 94 2 door and didnt have this problem. if anybody has any idea or has a simalar problem please let me know im not sure if i should get new weather stripping or what.

Either you need to replace your weatherstripping in the door or your door isn't shutting fully and is leaving a large enough crack for it to leak into the inside of the vehicle.

Hmm, my door and fender are flush, I'd say try adjusting the hinges? it's a 2 person job, 1 to hold the door while you loosen the hinge bolts (on the door) and jimmy the door closer to the truck 1/8th inch. I'd look at your weather stripping too just in case. Water getting into your truck is NOT a good thing, especially if the insulation under the carpet gets wet. It took a full week to dry my insulation out. I had to lift the mat, cut the insulation out and hang it up.
If water's been getting in, I'd suggest you feel around and see if your carpets wet. Also, pull the kick plate off and lift the carpet and check to see if the insulation in the foot well is wet, this can rot your floor boards.

I had a similar problem on the passenger's side of my Blazer when I first got it. It seemed that the top half of the door (the window frame area) had some how got bent outward by about 1/8" - 1/4". With the help of my brother and some gentle persuasion (some gentle bending), the water leak and wind whistle became a thing of the past!

Seals... always check them first... anywhere there is a seal is a place looking to fail and get you wet.... I had a problem with the third brake light.... but meh.... Just take some time to diagnose where it is coming in and then check the weatherstrip and the door spacing like said previously... goodluck with the repair

so i looked at the weatherstriping already and also had a friend who just graduated from doing automotive school look at it and neither of us could see anything wrong with the stripping, and yes my carpet is already wet thats why i started looking to see if it was a common problem or not.hey oktain when it happend to your pass. side did it affect your window motor??{assuming their power} cause my window wouldnt go down and i thought the fuse blew but i waited about a half hour and it worked fine.

If it is just water I doubt it will hurt the button but you would have to wait for it to dry out before it would work again.
