Snow packing inside the doors

[Alaska Guy]

First snow storm that I had to be out and driving. I notice lousy door seals don't keep the snow out. This is on all four doors. It packs in there and freezes.

It just waters. They will melt. Nothing to worry. Other manufacturers & models all have this "issue".

Have you ever had your doors freeze shut?

that is normal and how many models door gaskets work. snow is not getting past two door seals.

rav4 has the same thing happening. some aftermarket products exist to install
somewhat of a fender flare edge that keeps snow and mud out of that spot (for rav4 anyway...see pic)



If you wanted that totally sealed, say hello to corrosion, 'cuz if those spots couldn't
breathe, water will still get in there but never dry out.

that snow there isn't what freezes your door shut

water that sits on the seals and freezes does.

OP door seal areas are dry in the pic

Lousy seal approach. of the 4 cars here only the Toyota shows road junk inside.
The bigger problem is how do you flush the salt out?
