Hi
just to clear things up - BUNGLE ** spot on.
The outer door window seal is supposed to let water in, it can no way be made watertight, every car manufacturer has in place drainage holes in the bottom of the doors.
The components inside the door are usually glavanised steel or aluminium and designed to operate in moist conditions. Electrical items are water resistant, but not watertight.
The problem with Honda is that they have fitted bungs where they are not required, as all other Honda's dont have bungs.
Also, when you open the door look at the door apeture, you will see a rubber weather seal. This is designed to prevent water and wid noise getting into the cabin. By removing the bungs doesnt mean you will let water into the car, it just wont happen unless you have a damaged door seal that is.
By keeping the bungs in place is not a probelm as long as you check and keep them clear on a regular basis, otherwise they will cause rust, and paint to flake off, which is NOT what you want especially under doors.
Hope this helps
