Water under rear seats solution.

[Daz.]

I've done..

Gromits near rear clusters
Clusters themselves
Rear Side Trims
Boot Seal
Gromit in Boot Well
Rear wiper washer jet.

What next?

I've never had any water in the boot well or the boot itself although the carpet top WAS wet, I can only assume its coming in somewhere near the rear windows and then going up/down hills has transferred it around...

Wierd thing is the passenger side seat was where the puddle was, yet it was the drivers side seat that was soaked?!

I HATE leaks - I will not rest till I've found it!

Suggestions?

Spolier would be next on my list. I had a leak that was filling the spare wheel well and it eventually turned out to be water getting under the boot seal that was causing it. So I siliconed the whole boot seal to the car and it hasn't leaked since.

maybe one of your passengers keeps pissin themselves.

 

[Daz.]

Won't be either of those, water can't pool under the seat from the boot seal its defying gravity!

And I don't have passengers, I also can tell the smell of piss and this wasn't it

 

[AhmedRSi]

tried the window seals?

 

[Daz.]

I've monitored the seals over the last few days and had no signs of anything - also I thought they were bonded in?

Hi i also get water where the spare wheel goes and under the back seat passenger side :S

Dont know where its coming from

 

[davM]

Is it not from the bolt holes that the isofix bar uses or the one in the centre of the rear bench?

Hmm if it was I'd assume that would only show up driving in wet weather? Can't get in if its standing on a drive.

Mine was running in through the seal on the rear passenger side light cluster and down the left hand side of the boot and under the rear seat. Sealed it up and job done. Lift your carpets and seats out and put some talc etc down around the area and you;ll see where it runs from

100% not the clusters - I wish it was that simple!

 

[SCOTT_182CUP]

just put talc or ground up chalk over the area and you'll see the trail where its coming from

boot water drains blocked?

aerial base seal?

What did you find ? Went out today and heard a rush of water when taking off ( Been sitting all week) It sounded like water running along a sill or box section ?

When i got back the rear floor where the rear seats go (mines stripped out ) had a duck pond on it !!!!!

Mines kept in a garage and these puddles appear over night, not a clue what does it!

Mine does it a tiny bit, its the seals on the rear arch's letting the water in whilst driving in the wet. thats why it still does it even though its in a garage.

I have exactly the same. Can't work it out, although it only appears when we get LOTS of rain, like now! Think the car is getting slightly damp inside though as the windscreen is misting up with water droplets on the inside overnight at the mo.

air vents behind the bumper?

I have been having this problem for just over a month now but I have been to lazy to make time to fix it

I stripped the interior out last night and went for a drive in the rain and the water seems to be some how coming up through the bolts that hold the rear seat/bar down especially the middle one. (the bolts are in)

I am gonna try the chalk powder idea just to confirm it. But if I fix it I will let you know as I am getting the same symptoms as others on this thread.

 

[BROCKYS_172]

also noticed this i have stripped the rear and noticed water running through i see a trial coming from the left hand side so i think its the cluster leaking

 

[Paul RN]

Can always try and re-create the problem at a local jet wash with you in the car checking.

 

[Daz.]

Just to update, where the clusters are there is two gromits, one per side - take them out for the night and cover them with black tape or something and see if its still doing it.

Thats where mine was leaking, I re-glued the gromits and all's been well for months.
