Swimming Pool in my Drivers Side footwell!!!

I seem 2 have a swimming pool in my footwell. theres a small gap inbtween the top ov the window. ive put silicone on that 2 c if thats the culpret,its not. So back 2 the drawing board. It seems 2 b coming in on the top ov the 3/4 window. the seels seem intact. Ne sugestions on how 2 fix the problem? b4 i need 2 put my armbands on!! ha :dontknow:

Do you have a sunroof?

If so, it'll probably be blocked drain holes/ tubes.

Also try the drain holes in the scuttle pannel.

As above. I had similar problems, turned out the drain in holes in the scuttle panel were chock full of c***. Cleaned em out and no more leaks.

Its a soft top. It was raining the day i bought it but it dnt leak then. could the door av droped?

ive got a puddle next to the petrol tank access hole.anyone know where this could be coming from?

ive had this problem last winter, i found it was leaking from the sunroof down the headlining and A pillar post the into the little void in the bulkhead (between the footwell and bulkhead). If you pull back the carpet and soundproofing to bare the metal etc then there will be holes in that little void coverd by the origional sound proofing. I punched one of these through and blow and behold it was full !!! of water . In that void there are drain holes for the water to escape if ever it gets there but vw has kindly not spared with the cavity wax and then that gets warm over the years it runs to its lowest point and bobs your uncle will enevitbly swamp those holes. Check it out and tell me what ya got. good luck mate.

It's a cabby….

check around your rear lights ...

Under your seals there is a metal trim, remove these and put some new gaskets on. Iirc there obsolete from vw but I stock a alternate.

have u checked under the bonnet in the scuttle tray is it called? i didnt went for a run one day when it was raining and my feet where soaked, poke it through with a pen or screwdriver at least once a week when weather turns gets blaocked up with leaves and all sorts ...

Ive taped up the window, checked under the scuttle tray and the water is still pouring in my cabby!! It now looks like its coming in on top ov the windscreen pillar behind the beading and dripping in from there. Im at a total loss on how to stop it. Ne suggestions? The Drivers side footwell is soaking.

easy mate, just drill a hole in the floor for the water to drain away or get a boat water pump.

Its a good suggestion, but its just a short term fix 2 what could b a long term problem.  :dontknow:  

Ok so you know the location.

It's either the header seal, or the main door seal.

Try turning the hook on the lock handle 1 turn tighter.
