so i have a wet carpet in the passenger footwell. i initially thought this would be the gromit in the floor, but water accumulates there even if i dont drive it, and it is a pretty substantial ammount of water.
how else could water get in here? im going to take the door card off but am i missing anything?
cheers,
Matt

sorry boys terrible posting tekkers from me
its a saloon, non sunroof
i think i may have found the problem however, water is coming from the holes along the bottom of the door that fix the trim panel to the door.
the drain holes are working at the bottom and the plastic sheet that stops the water getting in is itact.
i think what is happening is the seal to the window has become poor and so when a lot of water is hitting the window it is all going inside the door and then leaking from these holes nearer the bottom of the door.
ill add a new seal to the list of parts from BM
thanks for your time anyway lads
