Just clean out the tiny weep holes and widen them with a flat tipped screw driver.

You may notice a wet spot at first on the drive on a hot dry day or perhaps maybe in the parking lot.

Thanks, good tip to widen the drain a bit.
I've looked at it often thinking that it was definitely going to clog up eventually.
A little gentle work to open it up a bit will quite possibly prevent this.

I actually had mine plug by a twig! Don't figure ! Pulled it out with tweezers. Had to be production. It was stuck up inside an I only saw it by catching ahold of it with a pocket knife. The other end one apeared to be crud plugging it. Running a pipe cleaner when detailing the truck is a wise choice also.

Good tip - the drain holes on mine got hidden by combination of sand, dust, and the rust proofing oil. Heard sloshing in one of the rear doors, pulled the rectangular plug out first, drained about a gallon of water, then located the smaller drains after that, cleaned them out and drained another quart.
I was going to post that the electric locks were not working after a heavy rain - now I know why! Dried out and back to normal.

the other issue is the vapor barrier its not properly sealed... mine was leaking behind the door trim and into the cab( think door sill)
had to take the door trim off, get a roll of butyl tape( black sticky stuff) and redo the vapor barrier
also if you replace the stock speakrs and dont do the gasket between the aftermarket adaptor and the door it will leak from there as well, again butyl tape to the rescue
