SunGodRA Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This happened last winter a few times but after last nights down-poor the passenger mat/carpet was absolutely sodden wet this morning. I cant visually see where the water is coming in from - doesn't appear to be door seals as they appeared dry. Any ideas? Anyone else experienced this? thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Friend with a hose pipe required. You sit in the passenger seat...........they blast you. Might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 check the windscreen seal. been a problem for a member in the past. You may need to have a new windscreen installed to solve the problem. This cured it with this member Also put some talcum powder around the seals then try a hose, perhaps identify where its coming from. Door windscreen first then try the door seals. It is worth solving this as you coulld end up with water in the BCM board. You dont want that. Very expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hose pipe test is the only way mate and lift the carpet in the footwell. If it is REALLY soaking I would remove carpets for drying. I would check your ecu to see if any moisture is on it. Would have to be a badly fitted screen to leak but it has happened in the past as reported. If you need any help talking through and locations of certain things etc :pmr35lee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt L Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 mine was wet the other day on the passenger side, water was coming from the plastic trim under the 'what should be a glove box' just before the door. not investigated further yet to find out where its coming from.
