In car, it pours out from the front doors, especially the driver side.

Default I have the exact problem, only with driver's side rear door...(more)

If you look closely at it, it looks like the water is coming from between the door frame and the inner door panel. This can't be good, there are alot of electronics in the door that could be damaged by the moisture, including the speaker, which is right there. I'm going to show deal today, i'll keep you posted....

Default It's normal. It's where your sunroof and doors drain. (m)

The seals between the window and door are not air tight. There are holes in the bottom of each door to drain this water. There is a water barrier between the inside door panel (and electronics) and the steel door panel to keep the water out of the car. If the holes weren't there, or get plugged up, you can rust out the door from the inside. Cars have drained the water this way for decades.
