no reason for the water but it is suspected the membrane was not sealed properly. I noted when I was removing the panel the membrane in some areas was stuck fast the door but in other places loose.
It is a puzzle as to why with the door panel removed and the membrane not sealed and the car out in the rain why there was no water in car/door. I suspect the membrane is there just in case. With the glass up the seals at the base of the glass should prevent water from getting into the door. Thankfully these seals appear to be just fine. (They are expensive. The Pelican site DIY gives a $200 price for these.)

A clip didn't survive the operation. I do not know if I broke this clip or the tech did -- or the clip was broken the last time the door was apart to replace the window regulator -- but a new clip is due in tomorrow. Had I the foresight I would have just ordered new clips but the problem is there are two kinds: black and white; and I didn't know what clip color my car should have. As it turns out it has white clips.
Anyhow, the car should be finished Tuesday but I have some personal business to take care of before work so while I can stop in and talk things over with the tech I can't wait for the car to be finished.
So Wednesday I will pick up the car.
