Default Wet door card

Evening all,

Anyone had a wet door card before?

Got in to the S8 this evening, it's been sitting on the drive over the weekend in the snow and rain.
I happened to put my hand down between the drivers door and seat to recover my phone and felt that the lining below the door pocket is soaking wet!

Sure enough, felt along the bottom of the door card and the trim has detatched from the solid trim and is full of water underneath.

Carpet is damp but not wet.

May explain why the car is permanently fogged up every time I get it to it!

Going to call in to TPS tomorrow and buy a set of trim clips so I can take the card off and investigate.

Anyone had this problem before?

Short of an answer I'm sure I can persuade my 7 year old to spray the garden hose against the door while I investigate from the inside ....
