2012 A6- does anyone else have water/condensation in the door jambs and on the sill after a rain, but more importantly still there for over a day? Mine seems to retain water there... CPO car but I still have the original warranty for a little while.



Thanks!

If the moisture is outside of the inner door seal, I wouldn't worry about it.

My 2012 does the same thing. At first I was concerned, but the dealer assured me this is normal. I've noticed that keeping the doors open a few minutes after a wash allows the water to drain and everything dries up much faster.

It stays outside the seal going into the cabin but it can enter the door itself from the bottom.. I'll keep an eye on it but I'm worried about the electronics in the door

Mine was so severe that water would puddle up on the front passenger side floor. This is a known design defect and Audi would replace the speaker seals under warranty.

Great to know! I truly believe that with winter coming and the snow that there will be a big issue. I first realized it when wearing shorts - I got out of the car on a nice sunny day after a ~20min drive and my leg hit it and was wet.

I'll be calling today to set up a test/appointment. As its raining now they may accept that as the testing

when it rains, the door is not hemtically sealed from the rain, some water runs down the side glass into the door, out the bottom vents. That is where some of the sill water is from. Every Audi that I owned did this.

From your original post, it sounds like Audi redesigned the seals that were replaced on your 2012. This would seem to indicate that at some point in 2012 forward, this was no longer an issue.
