Wet front nearside footwell. Poured water along the door seal with the window slightly open and watched it run inside. Door seal had split at the bottom corner. New seal £45 fitted. Simple fix once you find the actual entry point.
Parts replaced: Door rubber seal
Water in passenger footwell after heavy rain. Assumed sunroof drains but those were clear. Mechanic found the pollen filter housing seal had perished — water was tracking in through the bulkhead. New seal, £15 part, 30 minutes. Completely dry since.
Parts replaced: Pollen filter housing seal
Found about 2 inches of water in both front footwells after heavy rain. Traced it to blocked sunroof drainage channels. Cleared the drains with a thin wire — massive amount of debris came out. Drains now clear, no more water ingress. Free fix, just took patience.
Parts replaced: Nothing
