water geting in

hi people any one got any idears were the water mite be coming in on me golf ???

every time it rains i find water in the pasinger foot well a lot of it as well

iv take the carpit out so i can mop it up every time but i just can seem 2 find were its coming from

any one else got the same proplem??

plez help me hehe

What have you got mate, tin top or cabby?

I've not had a tintop but a few people I know have and I think that's usuall sunroof, could be wrong here though.

Cabby is usually the window seals, or the seal across the top which then comes through the locking mech.

its tintop and i dont have a sunroof

Ah I'm not your man then my friend, could be through the engine bay??

thats what i was think dude

but all the holes aka clutch cable/steering rack is on the drivers side doh

so dont no if it is

check drainage holes in the rain tray aren't blocked, there should be a hole either side in the rain tray for water to drain down. these are often blocked with leaves etc, which leads to water building up and sometimes creeping in through your heater.

also remove door cards and check the plastic sheet is intact, i have a really small hole in the sheet in my polo and it pours water through. whilst you're checking the doors, check the drainage holes that run across the bottom of the door, if these are blocked water can build up inside the door and leak through into the car.

you could always sit in the car while someone stands outside and pours a bucket of water down the outside of your door, or have them hose the car down and you can then look out for where water is coming in.

a bust windscreen seal and/or rot of the windscreen base/surround could potentially lead to water getting in.

hope this helps.

cheers.

thanks dude il tri them there no bild up in the dringe holes there all cleand out haha

but il have 2 get me sister 2 hose the car of and il see were its coming in then i think

if i can find it il just have 2 leve carpit out till summer time haha

i have this problem but its behind the drivers seat where the passenger in the back would sit.

The carpet near the sills is dry as a bone so its not like its coming through the door. i dont have a sunroof either. only happens on that side aswel :/

yours is a different problem my friend. my moneys on it coming in though the boot. is it wet under the seat ?

ive only checked the floors carpet as thats all that seems to be wet :/

man we need 2 move 2 some were it dont rain haha that stop it me thinks

usual spots worth checking  (some already mentioned)
  rear lights, rear boot seal, drain holes in front skuttle tray, seal around heater blower, any gromments on front panel, corners  of windscreen (can drip straight onto fuse box), plastic membrane in doors, door drain holes,  whereabouts are you ? if you need a hand/ hose pipe let me know.
