Wet Windows

well my heater works fine and my coolant level hasnt dropped at all.... so maybe it isnt the matrix?
I will investigate the door first and get the carpet out for drying.
meh..

Might be left over from when it last went....

So does it go and then stop? ive had the car a year and havent ever touched the heater matrix

How long have you had the water problem... I seem to remember you on about it before?

Just recently, I havent had a leak like that before, My roof leaks abit in heavy rain but thats over the drivers seat and isnt ever very much. whereas the leak I have at the moment has a puddle in my rear passenger side foot well and the front passenger foot well is very wet also.

I think you would know if the matrix had blown... My lads did it on the way home from work 14 miles and I knew straight away as we could not get anything other than luke warm air through the blowers!!

So if yours has HOT air coming out I doubt it has blown... Back to the search!!

Ah thats a relief, my blowers are stupidly hot still.

I guess its more likely the doors then, will have to patch them up and see if that resolves it, and il get round to taking a coat hanger to my sun roof too

I use BMX brake cable its just the right size and no sharp edges to rip drain outflow pipes

do you park your car with the passenger side lower than the drivers (ie on a kerb)
i found mine soaked a bit ago and water was going into the channel across the scuttle panel that has 2 drain holes for the water to run down the sides of the wings and mine was dripping straight down the vent for the blower motor due to being sat lower at the passengers side
i also have a small leak in the bottom of my screen on the passengers side i found this by putting my hand up the back of the heater motor housing to find the underlay soaking wet

before I take any action, to clear up.

Probably not the heater matrix cause the puddle is in the rear of the car and is only slightly damp in the front, plus my heaters work fine and my coolant level hasnt dropped.

I know its not my roof.

So probably my door?  I cant imagine how that much water is getting in through there but from what I gather its the most likely problem.

Any other tell tale signs before I but a heap of stuff and dedicate time? :p

Tailgate, rear lights etc depends on how and where you park it - process of elimination....

Get a mate to help with a hosepipe or watering can!!

Even if there is a seal in the door it can and will still leak. You need 2 seals but put one so it goes into the bottom of the door.
Sit in the car with door card off and pour water outside down the window,you ll see it come in or feel the seal getting wet.
