Leakage :(

[HendyR5]

Been leaking for a while, drivers side footwell has had a few puddles already with this weather! :cry::cry::cry:

Noticed it was coming in through the door, the window rubber had came off and it was dripping in!!!! so door card off and sorted the rubber strip. Door card is now dry but floor is still wet?!? :scratch:

Has anyone got any other idea's???

[stevedob1664]

windscreen or heater matrix is my guess

[Woznaldo]

Also check that the engine bay bulkhead drain hole are clear of debris.

[HendyR5]

checked all those and there all fine :scratch:

am off 2moro so weather permitting am gonna take off the door surround and have a look.
I peeled bk carpet earlier and it looks like it getting in along the bottom of door!
can anyone suggest a waterproof cover??? :cry:

Drill a hole in the floor pan and let it drain away :cooter: (joke)

[jack joy]

Check that the choke cable rubber grommit is in place, where it goes through the body.Mine had popped out and was letting a lot of H2O in!It gave me job satisfaction until finding that was only leak number one! carpet out next:(

[HendyR5]

Well i thot i had fixed the leak in the drivers footwell, went out to the five this morning to find a soaking carpet and a small puddle :cry:

Well carpet came out aswell as the plastic panel, seems like its the bulkhead as the sound deadening was wet, very wet! :disagree:
