Water in rear passenger footwell

[r-kid]

Got in the car yesterday & the rear passenger footwell was sodden considering the car hasn't moved since October (I had to put the clock back ) it could have been there for a while.

Anybody else had this? Any ideas where I need to look for the ingress point. I know we've had some wet weather recently but I never had this issue on my old one.

Not suffered it myself, but might be worth reading this?

Thanks, interesting couple of threads there. Will have a look at the pollen filter drain & if dry the door membrane.

That was my thread...and my car is still wet, so I will be watching this with interest.

I'm assuming you have a monaro.
My previous monaro did the same and it was the door membrane. There was a tiny gap at the bottom of the door where the membrane attaches wasn't more the 3mm wide but soaked the rear footwell. I re stuck it down then put a beed of silicon round the edge of the membrane overlapping the door skin and was fine after that.

In the E3 Tourer? That's still a fairly new car. Not a good sign

Nope. He has a, sorry, the E3 VXR8 Tourer.

This was my original thread.

Mine has been ok ever since the above solution ( In my case )
Hope yours is an easy fix too

A little update as I've not yet had time to take the car apart. But it looks like its the rear door where the ingress point is on mine. The inner part of the door seal rubber has water in the little groove. I also noticed a few splashes on the rear seat.

So it's either the membrane or something higher up. Hopefully if its a dry weekend I'll get the door card off for a proper look.

Thread resurrection.

Finally had time & a break in the weather to look at this, hopefully its sorted now. Turns out the door membrane wasn't sealed properly, fingers crossed I've managed to get it sealed now.
