Water Ingress Query

[getabiggerhammer]

Began to smell a mouldy type smell throughout the week having been driving in very wet conditions. On investigation discovered a damp passenger footwell on the outer edge nearest the door.

The inside lower door panel was obviously wet through too when I looked.

So, I imagine this is a seal issue and the water is coming from the outside in.

Have checked AC drains and they’re all clear, don’t have a sunroof, coolant level is also correct.

So, just trying to get confirmation that my suspicion of a door seal is correct or just a there anything else to think about?

Thanks in advance!

Almost certainly a seal.

The rear boot lid seal failed on mine - I had no idea until the electronics started failing.

Thanks.

Will most likely replace them all to that extent as the rear driver side also felt damp!

Any further info from anyone, please say?
