Default waterproof super cab doors

How waterproof are super cab doors? If I'm in mud hole or something and I hit a hole then the water comes up on the door. Am I going to have to worry about water coming in?

Water will stay out as long as your moving. I have crawled across creeks and never got water int. The first time I sank to the frame in a hole and had to sit there I ended up having water come in through the front door. Sitting in a hole is not good.

Ok thanks for the info. I guess with the suicide rear door it makes it kinda hard to keep the water out.

How deep was it that the water still came in? I hopeing not to go any deeper than a few inches up the door.

it was probably 3-4 inches. it just depends on how good your door seals are. it only came in on one side

You got the SCrew so I'm sure your seals are better plus their newer. I was looking at mine where the 2 doors come together, I'm not sure how well it works but I'll find out when I hit the fisrt puddle. Are there any tricks to sealing up the doors?

I checked and the seals look good. It just looks like they way the did it they left some gaps in the doors when they come together.

that needs to be addressed or you'll definitely have water getting in
