Hello all,
Today the 2 doors from teardrop trailer parts came in, and after reading several reviews here, youtube, reddit which talked about potential for these doors leaking, we decided to do a very light water test. What seems to be happening is that both doors leak through their seals and water collects on the interior side of the door.
Here is a short video showing the volume of water that I’m talking about, what I would say would be equivalent to an average shower. We did this same test 5 times per door and every time, water showed up on the back side of the door within 5-10 seconds.

Here you can see that the water is collecting on the interior lip, and if continued to collect it would spill over to the inside of the trailer. I would not expect any water to get here at all because this is behind where the main door seal is:

So, my question to you all, is this your normal experience with these doors? I know that the door is not mounted, but I would not expect this kind of leakage as a standalone unit. It certainly doesn’t give me confidence to mount it to my trailer. Curious what others thinks, and if they have had any issues with their doors.
