OMG leaks again

First_damned · 10th January 2014, 19:36

Now found under the carpet drivers side front and back is damp, think I have sorted the leaks but I'm sick of trying to dry out the carpet, even when I do it's still left a bit damp as I can't take the carpet out as I need my car everyday. If I just leave it will it be OK? Considering I bet allot of these cars have damp carpets but the owners don't know. What you don't know doesn't hurt you, so I need to wipe my memory now lol.

I only recently found out the passenger side rear footwell is wet so yeah it's possible a lot of these cars have a leak/damp patch without them knowing

yes if you want mildew corrosion to side impact sensors rusted floor pan etc etc

Drain holes in bulkhead blocked, water then comes out the heating I think, I had sodden carpets a while back, now my garage takes a coat hanger to the holes every time they fix something else

At least then the water will drain away through the rusted holes in the floor plan
