Evening all.
Just wanted to get some more advice. I have had all the outer door seals changed and the 2 front outer lower door seals changed and I still have a leak in the rear passenger footwell after this weeks down pour. The passenger seals have not yet been changed but they seem ok. Any ideas would be great. Sorry to retread old ground.
Thank you for your help.

sunroof?

rear light seals?

I had the same issue a while ago and after 3 weeks of struggling, I found that the leak was coming from the pollen filter BUT....I had the filter and panel replace because I thought it was the reason but the leak was coming from the base of the pollen filter unit.
The leak ran down the front of the car under the carpet and stopped in the rear passenger foot rest :angry:
this confused the crap out of me but a tub of silicone and Vaseline sorted it out in a way. That was my experience

Cheers guys. Have tried to unblock the sunroof drain with washing line wire. Poured water down but not coming out of the nipple. Any ideas how else I can do this please

Cheers guys. James - I tried the washing line thing but it wouldn't come out of the nipple. When i poured water it came out of the other side.
Dj magpie- how do I do your thing. Please could I have the idiot guide. Cheers.

have you cleared the nippled out as squeezing them dont do anything but get rid of the loose crap in there, you need to cut the crimp off the end and insure that the rigid pipe is not loose on the internals

Cheers james. Have cut the crimp off. I have noticed that there is a lot of water under the door rims. Have had the rubber door seals replaced though?

another easy way of knowing it is the door nipples is if you take the ribbed rubber off under the nipple that connects the 2 and feel in the ribs to see if theres water collecting there? :undecided:

Thanks James. I believe I have located the leak. It seems to be overflowing from the door sill the thing is I have had the internal door seal changed but not the external one changed. Is this worth doing? I have also read that it is worth taking off the door panel and getting the bottom sealed. Can anyone recomend me someone in west London to do this please.
