Hi all,

I noticed my passenger side (RHD JDM) footwell carpet was very wet recently after a heavy rain storm. Are there any common places to check for leaks?
The window seals look ok to me and stays in contact with the glass, and it dosen't look like the sunroof is leaking.

Thanks for any help.

wink.gif Hello there!, had the same problem both sides. Undo the wheel arch liner and you'll see to rubber grommets on the A pillar, simply put silicone sealant around them to seal it (same on both sides). Easier doing it from the outside in as theres a plasticky/foam cover on the inside you'll need to pull to bits!.

Unblocking the sunroof drains: White wire cable you buy for hanging net curtains is ideal diameter and length to simply poke down and clear (you'll see the wire coming out the bottom of the car near the sill)

Guarantee you it's the grommets that need sealed!
