We've been getting a lot of rain here lately.
A few days ago I could hear water sloshing around in my drivers door!
I checked it out and found both drains plugged up with guk (a technical term) so i removed the plastic baffles and cleaned out the drains in both doors. Those baffles are sort of cheesy brittle little pieces, I hate to reinstall them.
I'm not sure what their function even is.

Has anyone here removed theirs and left them out?
If so, do you notice more noise?
