Carpets and water in passenger footwell. Thought it was a previous problem of rear washer water pipe joint come apart but that was all fine. It was noticed after we just had heavy rains. Cleared load of muck from bottom of windscreen.Hoping that will resolve the leak.

Regarding the water-it has soaked not only the carpet but the "insulation" on the rear of the rubberised underlay. Wondering if the best option is to carefully cut out the rubberised underlay dry off and put back. Previously the carpet dried out ok. Anyone had to deal with similar problem

Often caused by a leaking heater/air con radiator. Wet your finger in the water and taste it, if it's sweet, it's coolant and is that rad. If not, it's probably rainwater and you may have fixed the problem.

DON'T taste it if its anifreeze
What car is it I'm guessing its a golf with a sunroof? Am I right

My guess is a Pug. If the windscreen scuttle seal isn't fitted right, water gets in.

I think it`s a topless convertible.

If you think that tasting your finger just damp with anti-freeze is going to do you any harm, you're mistaken. The lethal dose of pure ethylene glycol is about 0.4 grams/kilogram body weight, so for a 60 Kg. person, 24 grams.

Ok doc!!! no one likes a smart ar$#

my guess is it's an inter city 125.

s7uajones on his way to top up his anti-freeze.

Your on the right track ;-)

If having the knowledge to counter false statements which cause unnecessary alarm then yes, I'm a smart ar$e.

We still haven't got to what car it is

I'm having the same problem with my fiesta xr2 water in front footwells still trying to find out where its coming in

Just drill a few holes in the foot wells.

cheers

Its a 3 bed semi if that makes any difference?

Think ive remedied the cause of leak (build up of moss, muck and leaves) its the drying out of the rubberised underlay. The sodden underlay has a rubberised top and i am not sure it will evaporate through that. Stanley knife job i think ( first checking theres no wiring beneath it)

Only one thing worse than a 3 bed semi, that's 2 x 3 bed semi`s.

I've had this problem with an american car. It turned out to be condensate from the aircon.

I know how to dry it out
