hia wondering if any one can help!

the other night i was driving home in the rain after training hard for an hour and i couldnt get the windows to de-mist. eventually got them to clear just as i was getting home and so gave up. next day i was wiping off the condensation that had settled on the windows and found that the carpet below and behind the drivers seat, ie in the right rear passengers footwell was soaking wet.

this is the confusing bit, at first i thought i must have left a window open in the rain, doh! but none of the seats were wet or the roof lining which would have meant leaky sun roof. this has completley got me and neither myself or 5 other people who have looked at it can work out where the water could have come from.

not happy about the idea that the car may be absorbing water or letting it in somewhere! anyone had this befoe or heard about it??? all suggestions apreciated!

will

i have it as well sometimes but in the passenger side footwell more than the drivers side.
i'v heard its got something to do with windscreen seals. So as i have a sloped drive, in the wet i park it nose down so the water cant run through the windscreen and into the channels and it seems to work at the moment but i would like a more perment fix
thanks

windscreen seals!!! blimey, hadn't even thought to look there, i will have a look and see if i can see anything
cheers mate

I have a similar problem. The headlining gets wet above the drivers side window. The passenger footwell gets wet aswell. These are due to the door seals. I put some tape over the trim imediately above the window and the leak stopped - don't want to leave it like this though. Have been quoted £100 per door seal + fitting + VAT, per side! They did say it that the seals might just need re-seating.

Might be worth you sticking some gaffer tape over this seal to if thats your problem.

Also try putting water down the drain holes for the sunroof, if it drains away, you know they're not blocked - might have split though

I've had exactly the same problem and have found the solution. The problem is with the windscreen. I got a window replacement company to come and remove and re-seat the screen, they found that on the top corner on the passenger side the car body had rusted slightly, lifted and was allowing in water from the roof 'gutters' this was getting into the car and settling on the floor. the guy smoothed the surface, treated it with anti rust stull and re-sealed the window. It has worked a treat, and even in the worst rain there are no leaks at all. It cost me 80 odd quid so well worth it.
