    RRC Wet footwell - WA

    Well, the replacement D2 door rubbers certainly seem to have reduced the volume, (thanks to Bradtot for the info and Dazza TD5 for the rubbers) but I'm still getting wet carpets - front only, and mainly drivers side.
    I'll retry the garden hose trick, but anyone in Perth know where I can go to find out where the water is really coming from?
    Had a replacement windscreen a couple of years ago, so a possible culprit.
    I have the headlining out at the moment, and freshly de-rusted, carpet-less floors, so an ideal opportunity to check the upper regions in particular.
    Cheers Gavin

    When mine leaked like that it was the old windscreen rubber. Assuming you had a new one installed with the new screen?

    Mines been dry ever since the new screen and rubber.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Blocked air conditioning drains overflowing into the footwell. I had that problem with my soft dash which drenched the drivers side carpet. Also check the drains on the vent inlet at the base of the windscreen.

    Cheers

    Does it rain in WA? Was there last month there was like a hint of moisture in the air not like here over weekend now SE you want to test for leaks, well this can be place was driving down Northshore many years ago, massive rainstorm hits
    And watched rivers of water flowing from around windscreen. And all holes, and every unsealed genuine build space. As in previous posts leaks can be from, well everywhere really Good luck

    Thanks Steve. Would the blocked a/c drains issue apply even if not using the a/c - given that mine is about to be repaired after 12 months with a u/s compressor = not used?
