We have a 2002 Vauxhall Corsa SXI and there is a water leek that makes the carpets sodding wet! Are there any common problems or areas i should be looking for problems?

Thanks in advance for any help or advise.

Could be the matrix, or it could be the windscreen seals. I've had both go on cars in the past.

Run a hosepipe over the windscreen with someone else inside the car to see if there are any noticeable leaks. Are you losing coolant from the car?

No the coolant level is perfect. I will check the screen seal again but i am sure it is not that! Any other common areas??

Thanks for your help.

Another area to check is the plastic membrain behind the door trim. If its not glued onto the door itself and sealed all the way around then when water runs inside the door it can leak over the door seal rubber and drop inside the car. I say this as the door designs the same on most cars and Monaros (what I have) are notorious for it!
