Wet Carpet

The carpet in the passenger rear footwell has been getting wet recently (dried it out a couple of times, but its come back again)

Today i noticed that there is a small trickly of water over the top of the door sill rubber. The rubber is intact with no splits.

Thats the only place i can think the waters coming in, but hows it tracking over the seal? Anyone had a similar situation?

Cheers

The car has been mainly stationary, so it must be tracking down the door jam somewhere. Might try sticking some seal on the bottom of the door to stop it from happening.

That happened to me. Simple enough to fix if its the same as mine. Try your rear wiper, eg wheter or not it is spraying water. If not then your having the same problem as I had. The pipe runs up behind the rear passenger seat and disconnects quite often, its only a case of taking out rear door cards finding which is the correct pipe then poppong it back together.

Wet carpet issue has happened to my 6n 16v before too!! I investigated that it was because there were some dried leaves and dirt left in the drain hole. This drain hole should right next to the pollen filter. Basically, when this hole was blocked the water has been filled up and went through the pollen filter area in order to wet the passenger's carpet.

Try to unblock this hole. I was even using my vacaunm cleaner to suck away all the dirt and mud.... since then, there is no wet carpet anymore (touch wood!!)
