oh no not good. Dunno if you have t tops but sometimes they leak a little where the rubber of the t top and door meet. Usually they'd leak if you parked at a funny angle and your boot seal isn't in the best of condition? |

Hi Maudy I knew where it was coming in pretty much straight away I parked it nose down on me drive so it pooled both sides of the tailgate the water didnt come in over the wether strip but under/through it 1st attempt to seal it with silicone sealer failed so cleaned it up again then had one of these moments  Inside the wether strip has a sticky non hardening glue/putty just like plumbers mate So a nice helping of it to both sides and the hosepipe ban lifted i sprayed it for ages checked inside now all nice an dry Just keeping me fingers crossed for warm/dry weather as me carpets in the back garden on the shed still dripping!!! |

Got a soaking passenger side rear footwell, doesn't seem to be the door seal. Do you guys think it could be the hatch seal? Struggling to find where it's coming in!

*update* As it's pissing down at the moment checked the car when I went home at lunch. Door seal is defo not letting any water in. Dry under the back seat. Lifted the carpet in the front footwell and theres a lake under there! Are there any drain plugs in the body shell I can unplug? Think it must be coming in from the dash area but only on the passenger side. It's already driving me crazy!
