Condensation / Water Leak Rear Footwell

Taheemr · 01-17-2017, 06:49 AM

Has anyone had water ingress in the rear passenger footwell (right hand drive cars) I noticed the other day that the carpet is saturated, no obvious signs of leaks, the cars only 4 yrs old. I know there are some drain holes under the footwell, which i have tested by pouring water into the bulkhead and it seems ti drain out fine, any others had this issue, what was the fix

Check Sunroof drains. If they are clogged water will run down the sides and all over the car.

Might be the vapor barrier failing in the door. pop off door panels on that side and see if the vapor barrier is torn or the adhesive has failed.
