Has anyone else had problems with water leaking into the new Vauxhall Meriva's doors?

I have a new 2010 Vauxhall Meriva and have found a problem with water getting inside the door panels when it rains or when washing the car, which obviously sits inside the bottom of the doors until the doors are opened. Most of it can run away but not all of it, as the drain holes are not right at the very bottom of the doors. Has anyone else picked up on this?

That's a new one. First new Meriva problem area, so many thanks. Will add to the car-by-car breakdown.
