I got some polyethylene sheet drawn up and cut out for the front door water shields, those went in fairly easily. The old glue lines showed me where to apply the fresh butyl tape, pasted the sheet on and tucked it in at the bottom groove.

However, the area below the quarter windows under the rear inside panels has me confused as to where the water shield should be cut and placed...or if there even is one. I see a vertical glue line at the leading edge of the area, but other than seam sealer at the bottom and trailing edge, I see no other glue lines. The FSM seems pretty vague when it comes to the Charger rear water shield placement, I don't even see a specific reference to one. If there is indeed a water shield there--and that seems logical as there's a quarter window above--can someone show or diagram the placement?
 
Without a sheet of plastic the door cards will warp from getting wet. No one is ever going to see it. Just cover all the access holes in the sheet metal.
