damp rear passenger footwell
Hi Ive a slightly damp rear passenger footwell- just the drivers side- any ideas on the most likely route for the water to have taken? I have a bit of rust around drivers side rear arch, also the back window steams up a bit on the inside when I wash the car with warm water? Or it could be making is way down from the boot- which normally seems dry enough

it can be the rear window composition, or the hatch composition. I had seen it at the cable loop from the hatch. Or - maybe - at the door composition. You can find it out with a watering pot full of colored water
If u need spares feel free to contact me. I ship to whole Europe incl. UK.

The panels above the rear (side) windows would also be a possible place for ingress. I believe they are held to the car by some plastic pins which also seal the holes they push into from letting water in!

Re: damp rear passenger footwell
Never done it but I recall mention of how to do it on the forum a few years ago. Probably wasn't a ''how-to'' though
