Ok i have no sunroof and the plenums are clean as i check them regular what else could cause this?

I only noticed because i was laying the loom for the passenger electric seat drivers side was bone dry.

Any ideas?

make sure you check the plenums regular in this weather this water may have been there before you got the car as these carpets hold a lot of water, also the scuttle clips holders have a rubber gasket round them that can perish its best to take scuttle panel off and seal with sealant round them and along the panel also its in the thread i put up about sunroof drain holes ;) Arctic.

Well plenums were clear when i came round yours for the last of the wires for the seats so i now they are clear. No sunroof so no drains for that to worry about :D. Scuttle clips well i will do that to make sure.

Is it possible to hold water that long? if you remember the first nano meet i came to was July 2012 and the plenums were indeed blocked so can it hold the water from that long ago? that was the nano meet when my brakes stopped working due to the pipe breaking off the inlet manifold :getmecoat:

Hi John
Easy answer yes the foam will hold it them once the passenger gets in like a sponge if squeezed it will release the fluid, also it amybe leaking as i say through the scuttle clips ;) i am sorry to say Arctic

PS remember i told how mine held water
