Yesterday was the second time I was able to spend time looking at the EX60, showing the car to my brother to get his take on it.

It wasn’t a test drive as I have already had a two hour test drive a few weeks ago.

It was a visit to have a very close look at rather anodyne things like wheel well liners, rocker panel covers, weather seals, frunk trim fasteners, (stupid) piano black exterior trim items that will need PPF, how 3D winter floor mats will have to be modified to deal with a go pedal attached to the floor…just mundane things that only matter if someone lives in the snow/rust belt like I do.

I was examining the exterior lowest section of each of the four passenger doors; there seems to be adequate non-metallic based trim pieces that will protect the underlying exterior sheet metal from winter time sand/salt blasting from the front wheels.

However, with the passenger doors open, while examining the interior side of the edge of the bottom of the four passenger doors, all of the sheet metal is enclosed in the same plastic trim panel that is cladding the exterior of the lower portion of each door (sorry, didn’t think to take a picture of this at the time).

In other words, there is no base of the door sheet metal showing at all; it is all totally covered.

I could not identify any moisture weep passage holes in the very base of the plastic cladding that completely covers the door base sheet metal.

In other words: when it rains and the water gets inside the door, it should freely drain out the weep holes that everyone is familiar with on their own vehicles.

Can someone have a look at the base of an open passenger door and take a picture and post it, showing the weep/ drain holes please?

It sounds pedantic, but with winter snow and salty slush, I have to be satisfied that (unlike my 2018 TM3) the EX60 is not a ‘Faberge Egg’ when it comes to dealing with snow and salty slush.

And I get it that it’s “A Volvo that is designed and built in Sweden”. Cheers.
