Toyota Fortuner: How I drained excess water accumulated in the door

I'd previously seen posts about the drain plugs on these doors, and upon opening them, water came gushing out.

BHPian itsnotdeva recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Earlier when I was driving, I noticed a sloshing sound coming from the back doors, every time I braked. It was so evident that I thought I left a bottle of water loose in the back, but when I stopped and checked, I noticed the sound coming from the rear doors. I'd previously seen posts about the drain plugs on these doors, and upon opening them, water came gushing out, and there was a solid amount in there too!

Is this a common problem other owners have seen too? The link attached has a video which shows the evident sound of water in the door, and the water that came out when I opened the drain plug.

Is this a reflection, in any way, of Toyota's recent build quality?

Here's what BHPian eRajesh had to say on the matter:

This is a common issue. Happens with the front left gate on my 2017 Fortuner. Readusting the drain plugs helps but only temporarily.
