Water 💦
Whenever the winter season rolls round and the rain starts to come, my rear passenger footwell decides to fill up with water. It only occurs when I’m driving and not when the car is parked up. It’s got the point we’re braking pushes the water into the front footwell. Please help me with my unwanted foot spa!!!

Re: Water 💦
What you can do:
Check the waterholes on the bottom side of your rear doors, sometimes they are blocked with dirt.
Sometimes the inner doorplates foam is porous, a solution would be to seal it with some plumbing kit.
Check door seals, the rubber for wires in the B pillars
Are you sure that the water source comes from the back and not from the front ?
Car on a incline and water goes through the carpet damping towards the rear.
Do you have a sunroof?
is it soaking wet or damp?
Do your windows fog up when the temperature is low?
