Title: Another wet floor thread - not the norm tho
Post by: EsSeX dAn on 15 January 2014, 18:15
As title!
except on mine it is the drivers side. Mines a 3 door with no sunroof, also i seem to have a lack of nipples. it seems to hold water on the sill, when i open the door it runs away. is this normal? i took the rubber bit off the bottom of the door (which was mingin) and cleaned it up and made sure the oval (drain?) holes were nice and clear. Now to wait and see what happens next. If i have no joy what would the next thing to check be?
Also what the hell does that bit of black plastic that sticks out the door near the back and goes into the sill do?
thanks :-)

normal to have water on the sils afaik

checked all the usual things?

my guess is regulator panel in drivers door have become un sealed, thats the most likely cause, any other causes i could think of would make more than drivers foot well wet.

As above, water on the sills is normal.

Bonnet release cable bung if it's drivers side or possibly pollen filter housing it it's the passenger side. If neither of them then regulator panel would also be my shout.

All of which are common problems and have been covered in a number of threads recently.

the regulator panel is inside the door card. its the metal panel that the window rails are mounted to among many other things.

quite common for the plastic clips that hold the window to snap and when people replace them they forget to reseal the panel.
