Does anyone have pics of their doors (without door cards) after they have 'reduced' the leaking front defender doors?

I have a 110 with repaired front doors. Ive had the door cards off for the last few weeks monitoring the leaks and I think if I drill drain holes and insert say a piece of garden hose in the hole I should solve the problem. At the moment there are no drain holes....should there be drainage holes pre repair?

...Am considering putting a bath plug in the centre of the drivers footwell lol

I don't see a problem the lack of any form of working door seals, will allow any water out faster than it can enter, apart from when wading possibly....

That maybe my issue......I put new rubber seals on the lower door sills to stop water coming in from the road.......

Arr...you should have started at the top and worked your way down, a dry arse with wellies, is better than a wet arse with dry designer trainers...you must always leave a drainage system......because you can only ever reduce water leaks in a Land Rover

1989 110 doors. I had the bottoms repaired with a solid piece...no drain holes so maybe the problem. I cant remember what the old ones looked like or where if any drain holes should go.

Ah ok, reason I was asking is that I've got split piece doors and I wondered if yours were the same. When its raining I get quite bad leaking where the seal is between the top and bottom halves. Apart from that they're sealed tightly all around, I did have to bend the top half in by hand slightly to get it to press against the seal. I've no seal on the bottom though and never had water come in there
