Passenger carpet soaked :(

**Welshy** · 31-01-13, 16:45

As the title says my passenger carpet is literally soaking wet and some standing water.. Got a feeling it's the door seal? Anyone else had this? Common problem? Advise how to fix it? Or is it a new seal.. Thanks in advance guys and girls

Do you have a sunroof?

**Welshy** · 31-01-13, 18:27

Yes mate I have.. Could it be that? I pulled the door seal back and there's water in the seal and can see where it's running behind the trim into the footwell, looks like that's what it is but I could be wrong :/

Oh and its the front carpet that's soaked (footwell)

Could well be! Mine was rotting on the left side. Causing it to run down in through the passenger door seal and into the footwell. Your best bet is to get someone to hose the car down and sit in it. That way you can see where it's coming from

cheers mate

this is also a common fault on the ZS, but that is usually caused by the trim around the bottom of the windscreen

My van does this quite regular. When it gets bad I put loads of Vaseline all the way round the rubber seal and where the seal meets the door. It works for a while. New seal is prob the best bet but deffo sit in car while someone sprays it with hose pipe!
