mikey4410 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) guys my car was parked up all of sunday as normal, windows 100% both up and doors 100% both shut and sunday night I got in the car to discover the passenger footwell full of water front and rear. before anybody says the heater matrix it defo isnt that, coolants as was and high level. doesnt appear to be door seal at all.no water residue up high or sides of door seals. anybody have an idea, I am going to have to remove carpet and clean it and dry it out and sort this problem asap.

_shaun_ Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Door or window seal if your removing the carpet once that's out just run a hose over the door seal for 5mins if its dry try the window. Quote
Gainzy Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Is it rain water is it not running from the rear? Sounds bad! Check the rubber gromit under the carpet! Quote
mikey4410 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 didnt look at rear yet.will have a peep in a short while.rubber bungs are all good and intact.cars recently been thouroughly undersealed Quote
Gainzy Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Hmm do some more inspection they didn't blast it underneath with a jet wash pushed a bung out and put it back in or something silly Quote
Gainzy Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Won 't know anything more until you get that carpet out I have a spare bung somewhere if you need one dude Quote
Phil Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Get the boot check and if the spare wheel sump isnt soaked through then id be thinking along the same lines as Gainzy. but these cars are notorious for leaky rears, and sparewheel sumps filling with water, which can make it from rear to front under braking/parked on a hill etc. Phil Edited November 25, 2014 by Phil Quote
funny onion Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 The scuttle panel on my GT wasn't seated properly and this caused mine to leak into the passenger footwell. Quote
mikey4410 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 just checked rear and no water whatsoever.its all totally dry back there and backseat area. defo seems to be up front.under dash seems dry also.seems to be a few drops round under speaker in dash on passanger side. Quote

Bluebear Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Is that not just where it'd get the fresh air into the cabin anyway? Quote
Gainzy Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 will get all the wipers and scuttle of and see what is causing the leak.simples.will not get round to it till friday now I wudnt have thoughtIf you have taken the ac out and not put a rubber bung to replace the hole it might be getting through there, might aswell paint the scuttle panel while it's off Quote
mikey4410 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 it never had ac in the sportif.and all bungs are in and tight. and yeah probably will tart the scuttle up yeah :-D Quote
