Yes every car has them but the VE seems to piss tonnes of water up against the plastic sheeting for some reason.
Every other car I’ve owned the plastic sheeting being torn or removed is a minor inconvenience when a few drops of water get in, on the VE it’s a disaster as it pours in.
Old weather strips aren’t to blame either as I replaced the weather strips on my SSV only 12 months ago.
One of my older cars, now long gone, had a lot of wind noise. After many years of this issue, i reached my limit and took a look as to what i may be. I took the door card off to have a look only to discover that the insurance repair of 6 years earlier didn't reinstall the plasitc door card barrier. So being a life time repair warranty, I made a claim re the poor non factory quality repare (along with a list of other things) and it was fixed... But the interesting thing is that no water ever leaked into the cabin via the door itself...
So Holden must havedesigned the VE (VF?) with no drip channel or anything to stop the water from running onto the inner skin or plastic barrier and simply relied on the butyl tape to form a seal... Well for many that resulted in a fail and thus wet carpets...
