Is there something to stop the build up of dirt, snow and ice on the inside bottom of the doors? ---

Not 100% sure what you mean but it sounds like maybe the weather-stripping isn’t sealing properly. A 2021 should still be covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Have the dealer’s shop look at it. ---

If you mean the area outside of the door seal, probably not. Buick does offer splash guards, AKA mud flaps, these might help. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/d/c/dc92904ae6e8136002cda867f27c8cb3862c61ce.jpeg) ---

No…I mean when you open the door, the bottom of the door is covered with the weather elements. ---

Then have splash guards installed. Call ahead to make sure your dealer has them in stock, then make an appointment. ---

your vehicle is under warranty. call the dealer. there may be a missing or defective weather-stripping molding. ---

His is outside of the weather stripping, hence the need for splash guards. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/f/7/f7af0c146f48655e5e83483cda7226672c03f060.jpeg) ---

Ariens sells a clear spray for snowblowers called Snow-jet. it is sprayed on the metal and plastics so the snow won’t stick to it. I have never had the need to try this on a vehicle, but this might help in your case. just a thought. ---

A secondary seal at the bottom of the door keeps the rocker panel clean so you don’t soil your pants when exiting the car. Not all vehicles have this seal. ![20220128_122025](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/4/6/46ab06c784c2cf3a31944026ae304b1f96432370.jpeg) ---

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
