Hi i am trying to solve a leak i have in my passenger footwell however i am having trouble trying to locate the root of this problem. It is usually around the speaker cover/side sill's where the water comes from, and is sometimes a orangey colour. anybody have an ideas?


thanks

Try putting "convertible AND leaks" into the search function.

Could be blocked sill drains, maybe bit of rust in there?

Lift the carpet in the footwell and check the big rubber grommet that the wiring cones through the bulkhead
