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. |

I tried pouring some water into the sunroof drain holes on each of the front corners, and it looks like it is exiting the car on the sill next to the front sill jacking point - is this right?
sorry I misinterpreted waht you said - these rubber grommets on the a pillar are not for the sunroof drain hoses correct? I'm not sure it is these that are letting in water as the car has not moved for 3 weeks. won't water only leak past these rubber grommets when driving? |

Half way up the A pillar you'll see a rubber grommet then above that anothe one letting the wiring into the car. These are the two (on each side of the car) you'll need to seal around. Water runs down the windscreen between the wing and the door getting in there and soaking your carpet. |
