Help - Water in rear footwell


Recommended Posts

Just noticed today in this heavy rain that it is wet on the carpet, behind passenger seat.

Any ideas where it could be coming in, apart from the rubber seal around the passenger door. Its a 3 door door by the way.

Are there any rubber grommets to look out for?

Thanks in advance!

Jon ;)

Yes I know what it was now. I had put smoked M3 lights on back of my car.

The water was getting in through rear lights and running down into boot through to rear footwell.

My cure was taking the lights off, drying them out and the car.

Putting them back on with the original seals from the original lights.

The seals were about twice the thickness to the ones that came with the M3 lights. Made sure I done the nuts up fully.

It has since rained and no more leaks - Excellent!

i had this problem on a previous mk3 golf and it turned out to be the membrane behind the door panel, if your car has had some work done inside the door and somebody has ripped it from the bottom it will leak in, you should always remove it from the top and leave it on along the bottom

so that is one place you should check, hope this helps :)
