Started getting a really bad leak in the passenger footwell lately, after any kind of rain. Got a little leak last year when it was heavy rain and the car was sat but it just made the carpet a bit damp. But now in heavy ran there is a big puddle in the passengers footwell its like a swimming pool :cry: :laugh:
But I cant work out where its coming from at all...... Because its just the half at the seat that gets wet! There is not wet-ness or damp at the firewall side of the footwell or in the rear or the drivers side at all. And had a look at the pollen filter etc and it looks all fine and there it no holes in the door seal that i could see either :undecided: But when I was driving today am sure I seen a drop come from the top of the passengers door but it could have just been a drip down the outside off the window :laugh:
So do I just need a new door seal or does anyone have any ideas at all ?
And its a 3 door if that makes any difference :smiley:
Cheers

Have you got a sunroof? There are some "nipples" :shocked: half way up the door frames as you open the door which clog up with sh!t and can cause issues, you have to squeeze them :laugh: and the gunk should come out then they can drain properly :)

i cut the end of the nipples in door let water through better, also check the pipes of the sunroof drains havent come off

Pollen filter, do a search.

Read his first post. He said he's checked the pollen filter.
I agree with above, proberbly sun roof
If not (providing its cheep, don't know how much it costs to do...) ide get the door seals changed see if it makes a difference.

Cheers guys I'll just the nipple thing a try :tongue: :laugh:
My car is a non sunroof to so wont be anything to do with that :grin:
If the nipple thing doesn't work I'll just need to sit in the car for a bit the next time if raining heavy and see if I can see where the water is coming in :laugh:

Go down the local jet wash with a buddy and sit in the car while they blast the heck out of it, or try the same at home with a bucket of water down around the window seals and scuttle panel etc.
In that location I think the sensible money's on a leak around the pollen filter....
No sunroof, no nipples.
The seal at the bottom of the door can leak too.
Both covered in this great link I bookmarked:
