Driver's door collects rain water
I have a 2000 Chevy Astro Passenger Van. About a year or so ago my van was struck on the left side by another driver. The driver's door had to be replaced. Ever since replacement of the door, it collects water after a heavy rain. I can hear it sloshing around for several days until I guess eventually it drains. Is there a solution to this?

You might also try the dollar bill test---where you insert a dollar bill into the door jamb, then close the door--if the bill pulls out easily, you have too much gap (in the area you tested). You can go around the door testing different spots.
If water is sloshing around, then the drains are definitely out of order.
