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. |

A vacuum does tend to do bad things to the felt carpet backing.
Unfortunately, to remove the carpet you more or less have to disassemble your interior -- at least if you want to be able to put the carpet back securely afterwards. Front and back seats, centre console, door sills, rear trim panels, dead pedal all need to be pulled out. Once it's out, I suggest a hair dryer. |
