210 water in the sills !!!!

[newlaithe]

Today after hearing sloshing water sounds i decided to investgate.... none in the doors as i half expected,but found when i removed the near side plastic sill trim water ran out of the screw holes... at each end of the sill there are rubber grommets,both were blocked... i've no idea yet how the water entered,but as a warning to others it might be as well to check that they are clear... by the way the water that ran out was gin clear,so fingers crossed no perminant rust damage iminant
