Where is the drainage hole located on the door of the older model Lavida?

Volkswagen Lavida's door drainage holes are located at the bottom of the door. You can see them by removing the lowest sealing strip on the door. Below is a detailed introduction about the Lavida car: 1. Overview: The Lavida is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen and was launched in June 2008. The LAVIDA Lavida not only maintains the excellent quality of German design but also incorporates many aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements. 2. Configuration: The Lavida's in-car navigation system combines touch screen and knob control operation methods, and has MP3 playback capability. It supports USB, AUX, and SD card expansion slots, making it easy to use with powerful functions. The LCD screen adopts a foldable design.
My old Lavida has been running for seven or eight years, and the door drain holes are located at the inner bottom edge of the door frame, usually with small holes at both the front and rear ends. The position is close to below the door lock or hinges—if you squat down and open the door carefully, you’ll notice a row of small plastic holes. The purpose of these drain holes is to let rainwater drain out, preventing it from accumulating inside the door and causing rust. If they get clogged with mud or leaves, water trapped inside can corrode the wiring or even leak into the cabin. I recommend cleaning them every six months by gently poking a soft wire through to unclog them. The Lavida’s design is quite practical, with the drain holes positioned similarly to other Volkswagen models, but older versions may require extra maintenance attention. The actual location is along the inner groove at the bottom edge of the door—once confirmed, maintenance is straightforward, so don’t neglect it.
