wet passenger carpets

[GolfGL]

hi all, with the trouble i have had with the 8v i was just about to give up with it till i fitted the sports exhaust and sorted the rattling manifold heatshield and it now sounds like a gti but just one week later the passenger footwell is damp in the front and back after the weekends storms. i know some of the issues of leaks but which are specific to the passenger side? the car also has a sunroof and i dont have any steaming windscreen issues.
thanks
Adam

Sun roof drains need unblocking. There are 4, 1 on each corner.

I have the same problem but I dont have a sunroof! I had to have my windscreen changed a couple of months ago, reckon its that?

as i am on hols in cornwall surfing ive only managed to open the sunroof and have a look. the holes are visible but a bit dirty round the edges, what can i clean this out with and how far does the drain go and where would it overflow into the car?

the headlining has some minor staining so its either been.damp before i got it or its definitely the issue now however is there anythibg else it could be?

I feel more inclined to help a fellow surfer.

You can do two things. One take of the headlining and pull the tubes out blow some air down there with a compresser.

Or you could spray carb and brake cleaner down there and pour some water in. Open the doors and you will see a little black nipple, this is where the water drains from. I just gave it a good fingering! but you can also use pipe cleaner, or something soft not to damaget the tube.

Hope you bought it dinner afterwards!

great cheers and one last thing how do i remove the carpets and headlining, is there a guide anywhere?

Carpets - basically take the front seats out and the centre console, lift rear seat squab and prise up inner cill kickers.

Headlining take off/realease door pillar plastic covers, dont have sunroof so guess there must be something around that. Or go ask kempie he just did his!
