Default Re: Dirty water sitting on door threshold when it rains
It's because the paint is new the water beads nicely in this area. Once the paint wears in a bit the water won't bead anymore so less water to get picked up by pant legs. Just remember not to wax this little area or the water will bead again.

The Toyota Canada web site offers "Door Sill Protectors" which may also help this as well as protect the paint in this area. I don't know if Toyota US sells these or not. I thought they were kind of expensive so didn't bother myself so not exactly sure what they are made of...

Two climate control systems, one inside and the other at the tailpipe.
