Driving in snow = Weather stripping problem!

Anybody else notice this, i got a scab flareside with ford mud flaps, and on the highway or driving in snow/slush, the slush gets wedged between my doors and the step boards (ford OEM). This pushes up and up into the gap between the bottom of the doors and the rocker panels thus stretching and lifting off the weather stripping on the bottom of the door from the cheap white plastic push pins it is held on with.

Anybody notice?

YES..I HATE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! the slush in the door jams turn to ice and then it stays in the doors forever until it warms up enough to even melt the ice from the inside of the door jams!! Wouldn't you think this is going to cause rust very fast??

i suppose it would freeze and cause a whole other problem, i never let it get to that point yet, but what im saying is it screws up the bottom weather moulding, and i got to try, with great difficulty to get the rubber back on over the little white push pins.

no, I'm talking about right under the door itself on the inside of the door? Theres about a 1/4 gap that runs all along the bottom of each door! Water gets in there and freezes! ever notice that?
