Default Anybody else have small puddles of water collect on the bottom door sill when it rains?

Twice after a hard rain I've opened the door to find a puddle of water formed on that silver running board-looking door sill thing with the TT logo on it. The water seems to drain or evaporate while I drive.

Not really a problem since the water can't reach the interior of the car due to the lip on the inside of the door sill. Just curious whether I have a door seal leak or something is not aligned quite right to prevent water from collecting.

I just noticed the same thing a couple days ago. It probably did that all along, but after 9,000 miles, I'm just now noticing. I agree, it doesn't look like a problem. I imagine they all do that.

Don't worry, It's just ice melting from the Air Conditioning Unit.

Yes, me too, didn't think it was a problem, though

Yes, it seems normal. After rain, car wash there are puddles. Aluminum won't stain, it seems.

Default Ok, not more above. More here. (Stupid enter key.)

I always pop the hood/hatch/doors and wipe everything down and there is always a puddle of water there. I also wipe under the doors but as soon as I close the door and open it again, more water magically appears. It's sort of like that bottomless pither magic trick.
