its a great water trap if u mean bottom of the side windows where water on the window builds up on the rubber when dropped down, or water just falling down the window will get trapped there with dirt, blast a steam cleaner lance as close as u feel is safe along the edge then scrape with a flat headed screw driver carefully then blast again
