Where are the drainage outlets on the Volkswagen Sagitar doors?

The drainage outlets on the Volkswagen Sagitar doors are located at the bottom of the doors. You can see them by removing the sealing strip at the bottom of the door. The door drainage holes effectively drain rainwater out of the car, maintaining a relatively dry environment inside. The Volkswagen Sagitar is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen. Taking the 2021 Sagitar as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753 mm, width 1800 mm, height 1462 mm, with a wheelbase of 2731 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2021 Sagitar is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 175 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving my Sagitar for several years and know all about the door drain holes. They're located at the very bottom of the door - you can feel several small holes if you run your fingers along the edge. After car washes or heavy rains, you need to check if these holes are clogged with mud. Once, my door accumulated water and the power windows got stuck. When I removed the door panel, I found the drain holes completely blocked by leaves. Now every six months, I use compressed air to blow out the drain holes and clean the rubber seals while I'm at it. Water accumulation inside doors is troublesome - it can cause rust and even damage electrical wiring. Remember during maintenance not to just focus on the engine - these small details matter too.
