Soggy rear seat!
I thought I had cured all the usual water leak culprits a while back. Three weeks ago I noticed white 'fluff'on the seams of the rear seat squab thought nothing of it but today noticed it had returned and closer inspection discovered it was mould. Futher investigation revealed the wells under the rear seat full of water and seat sponge soaked.
As far as I can tell the foot wells are dry I will check further tomorrow as light was failing today. My car is parked up on a slope so, as I have done the sun roof drains and have a dry boot am thinking that a drain tube(s) has come adrift from the sun roof gutter if that is possible. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced under seat flooding that could suggest where the problem lies. Will explore further tomorrow but having a new windscreen fitted first thing so fingers crossed on weather. Thanks in advance. Tony

Thanks Brian, as soon as the windscreen job is done I'll strip all the backend out. Weather forecast is not very promising for drying out!!

Lift the rear seat squab up and have a look at the ‘tube’ that enters from the offside rear wheel arch carrying the wires. You may find it has gone rotten and allowing water into the rear seat area.

worth investigating look at Simons threads where he removed it and was trying to find the best way to seal the end where the wires go through. https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=298371
