Very wet rear offside carpet

Tenesmus · 21st August 2015, 15:09

It's rained a lot recently. The mat had about half a pint in it, the carpet is soaking too. Any suggestions?

Also, what's the little rectangular panel under the bonnet release for? It looks like water is coming out of it.

Have you got a sunroof,if so,check drains, look up artics blog

Have you got a sunroof on yours?

Also, the rectangular panel under the bonnet release is where the boot release button usually is. I think the internal boot release button was deleted on some of the later models.

Yeah there's a sunroof. I'll look for the blog...

Check your immobiliser box ( fitted above the bonnet pull) chances are its had a good soaking too.

You need to park up hill or drill a drain hole in the rear seat well before the water makes its way to the front -where electrical mayhem will surely follow! Better still plug the leak-plenty advice on here re the usual suspects...
