water in passenger footwell

Post by sam gardner »

would really appreciate any tips on how to prevent water collecting in the passengeer seat footwell. Is this due to a leak at the windscreen, and if so is it possible to fix with some fancy sealent rather than trying to source new seals?

many thanks for any suggestins.

i've got same problem but mines coming from sunroof. if your getting water leaking in it could either be from door seals or window rubbers if it's window rubbers then the window frames could also be rotted out and water seeping under rubbers and leaking in through holes in frame ideally you need to take window out and sort out this rot before it gets worse. but if you want to bodge it then silicon sealant from b&q can be smeared all round the window rubbers outside.

Don't use silicone sealant - do it properly with the correct sealant type - tiger seal/sikaflex/soudaflex.
