im sure i have seen a post on this before but cant find it, basically, i have a broken ankle right now and my car is sat outside, i went to run the water off it the other day as we have been getting frost/snow up in aberdeen and i noticed a puddle of water in the passengers footwell!!

so... whats wrong?

i know its not the heater matrix,

the boot used to leak, but i solved that, and its bone dry now so its not running down from there!

it didnt used to leak before the re-spray, so im guessing its seal of some description? door? sunroof? water running down the inside of the door?

there is no evidence of iut running/dripping in anywhere (windows sunroof/rooflining etc.)..

HELP!!!!

thanks.

Polythene and gaffer tape will do it nicely, or it did on mine. You'll know as soon as you see the back of the door card.

Saw x works in their thread using double sided tape at the key locations for an oem finish. I used gaffer tape on mine though............and remember nothing says poor workmanship more than wrinkles in your gaffer tape.

The wiper spindle O ring, you would be shocked how much water can get past them.

hahahaha, I'm sure I had wrinkles in mine :) Ah well, double sided tape would be better, but then again so is just about everything in the x-works thread!
