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've found where the water appears inside now - there is a black butyl surface with a foam backing, just behind and to the right of the throttle pedal. it is a bit cracked from being kicked presumably but I don't think that matters. The foam component of this material is soaked through. Unless a sunroof hose could be leaking onto this I'm confident it is the rubber grommets badboy mentioned causing the leak, although they did look in good condition when I had the wheelarch lining off last week...
I will attempt to seal them up at the weekend and will report back with how successful it is! Thanks for the help everybody. PS - Is there a guide anywhere to removing the carpet? I need to dry it out now! This post has been edited by asdrewq: Dec 6, 2012 - 12:33 PM |
