scooter 10 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 i'm sorry if this is a bit of a repost, but i am suffering from a wet carpet on the passenger side, i've currently got no heater matrix in the car ( had a hole in it when bought and previous owner bypassed all the matrix pipes in engine bay ) so it cant be coming from that, ive checked the door and sunroof seals which look in pretty good condition. are there any other ideas to where it could be coming from?

Big J 283 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 The sunroof has drain tubes attached to it. Open the passenger door and youl see a little rubber dick sticking out of the body on the front end of the door frame. There's a good chance that's blocked up, and the same on the driver side. There's also drain tubes running above the headliner and draining out behind the rear bumper. Make sure all these tubes are clear. Be careful with compressed air incase you detach the tubes and then it's headliner and trims out to refit them.Tail lamp seals are a common failing point too so check for water in spare wheel well. It has a habit of running forward if excessive.Just a few places to start looking. damian8588 and scooter 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Big J 283 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Couldn't think of any other way to describe them lol, but yeah, imagine the little clit stimulator bit??

I'm starting to doubt myself now! I'd check mine for you but it's wrapped up and I'm just too busy until next week to lift the covers sorry. Pissed scanias by day, hungry dairy cows by night.
