Wet Carpet in drivers footwell??????

[doyler]

u try pour'n water over the windscreen? heard of a few silvias dat the sealnt went it used 2 drip down near da fusebox of all places.take da pillar cover off and try it

Is that the pipe that runs along the drivers side of the car from the drivers footwell? Maybe ill check that too if the rain stops

Yeah id amagine so anyway, dont know what else it could be. I had it happen to me in VW golf, and it was wraped up with wires in a casing so was even harder to find the leak...

Happens me all the time dude so I had to stop bringing damp yokes in the car!

Was costing me a fortune with the esb using a dehumidifier each week!

we had an old merc that had a similar problem & never sorted it
but came across info saying theres a little gasket between the brake booster & firewall goes & lets water into the footwell
suppose if the rubber seal at the windscreen end of the bonnet is gone
& that booster gasket is gone 2 it could let a lot of rain water in maybe?
i dunno though bout nissans but seems a common problem on the classics

Had a problem like this is the gfs car, literally pools of water when it rained heavy, even with car just parked up, after hours of searching she brought it to a mechanic, he spent 2 hours and couldnt find a thing. Few weeks later had nct on car, noticed a crack in the passenger side brake light, so stuck coloured tape over it. NExt week it pissed rain "and dont laugh" NO WATER.

I actually couldnt believe it so i took the tape back off and it fuckin got soaked again, still cannot find or think of a way its gettin to footwell.

I know its a bit far fetched but point i'm making is it could be fucking getting in anywhere, when its not the obvious places, prob just trickling along a little ridge somewhere. I feel your pain though

Checked all the holes i sealed up, and they are bone dry, and after the rain today, low and behold the floor is.............fucking drownded again

Bump. Scamper did you get this sorted?

Had a good look at the hole in the shell where the loom goes to the fuse box. Grommit was off and wrecked. Sealed it all back up properly and left it. Checked the car last night and the floor is wet.

1. The spongy bit under the carpet was wringing so i basically folded it up onto the drivers seat to let air in to dry it, but is still wet a week later (not wringing though). Just wonder is the water in the footwell whats maybe seaping off the carpet...

2. any other problem areas. S14 for reference. Ill have a good look around at the weekend

Havent got a chance to look at it in the last few weeks man, been up the walls at work, im hoping to get it sorted straight after xmas
