Having left my touring sitting for a week have returned to find it full of water.
The drivers side footwell and the passengers footwell behind that are soaking (more water in the rear footwell). I've checked the drainage pipe on the bulkhead all clear.
Also the little compartment where the first aid kit and jack is kept has a couple of inches of water.
Any ideas? the car smell like a damp dog!
Thanks

The seats are dry but will check sunroof anyway.

Door seals seem fine, if it was a boot seal wouldn't the carpet in the boot be wet?

Thanks
