Ive got some flooding on the passenger side of the car carpet.

I've got a dehumidifier in there at the moment and its clearing it up nicely but can anyone help me with what caused it and how i rectify it?

I've got a similar leak, comes in just under the passenger door bin. Got no idea where it's coming in! Checked all round the seal & it's fine. Be interested to have a few idea's as where to look next!

bump... Torq-Al needs it as well!

I had a small puddle this morning on the rubber matt, but not sure wether its from me this morning getting in when it was chucking it down or wether there is a leak

Mine I think comes in from underneath the carpet is soaked, along with the yellow wadding underneath!

i read this the other day and thought i was lucky, pissed down last night and now there is a puddle on drivers side, i think its commin from the seal at bottom, cause there was alot of water acfross the bottom when i opened the door.

i get water build up after rain on the door sill, which drains away once I open the door. You guys may have water falling through the rubber but it's just a guess.

I had this a few days ago, took me ages to find out what the problem was, but eventually found it. This is how I sorted mine:
Lift up ya bonnet and remove the plastic covers where the pollen filter and wiper motor is and stuff. If that area if full of water then thats probably your problem. There's like a small pipe each end that lets water out of this area but it gets clogged up with leaves and stuff, and obviously if the pipes are clogged the water can't get out so it overflows into the car. Get rid of the leaves and crap that's in there and hopefully this should sort it

Yep Dan this is how I solved mine last time about 6 months ago but it wasn't that. It seems to have all dried up now which is good and there aren't any bad mould!
