Front storage doors water leaks

I have a 2016 Premier ultra lite...
Both the front storage doors have a same problem...
When is rains, water stays in the storage door frames (bottom)
...see pictures.... and have no idea how the water comes in...

Is there any simple solution for it ?... or do I have to take the frames out, straightening/bending the lower (horizontal) frame part...which I don't exactly know how...
from keystone, I don't get any support at all (because I'm outside the US and Canada)...

I may be looking at the pics wrong, but it looks like the water is on the outside of the weather stripping??? It also looks like the weather stripping is bent and not attached correctly. Is the wood inside your storage area getting wet? If not, I would replace the weather stripping first to see if that fixes the issue.

the water is on the outside of the weather strip indeed... I just lifted the strip a little bit to get a better look at the problem..
The TT had a water intrusion problem there (on both sides) because of the water stayingon the frame, and infiltrated underneat the "metal plate where the door lock comes in( don't know how else to diiscribe it)...and so there has been a water intrusion for quite a long time...so I sealed it now all around

It looks to me that the storage door frame is not correctly mounted...little bit bended inside...and therefore the water stays on it after a rain...

Mine leaked around the metal strike plate. If you unscrew it and remove it, you will see there is a hole in the door frame. Seal around the hole and replace the metal strike plate. It should stop the water leak. Also each screw through the frame should be sealed (it looks like they are).
