    Getting water under the carpet in front left and right foot well in EK4 :(

    Things I suspect it can be

    Front windscreen weather seals (they seem old and lifted)
    Air-con (ruling this out because it seems to drain to the ground as I see water spots after parking the car plus water is under the carpet on both sides)
    Heater Core (ruling out as its not coolant and I'm not loosing coolant)
    Sunroof Drain (upon visual inspection, they don't seem blocked, but what is the actual path the drain pipe takes and could it be leaking into the cabin?
    Door seals (ruling out as seats, doors and top of carpet is not wet only the under layer)

    So 2 thinks on the highly suspect list
    Sunroof drain pipes(how to diagonose?) and
    weather seals where can I get these done?

    In the meantime Im soaking up the water by laying lots of newspaper between the floor and the carpet.

    Take the plastic base of the windscreen out & clean out the dirt & leaves.
    (It's held in with trim clips so be careful not to bust them)
    It sounds like the crap has built up to an extent where the water can flow over the lip & dow through the fan.

    Edit - & go to Bunnings & buy some "DampRid"
    That's soud up the water & water vapor when you're not in the car.

    This. Happened to me also. You can replace the clips with items from SCA or wherever if necessary but just be careful.

    Sunroof drain hoses I reckon. They run down the a pillar and meant to drain outside the fender. They can sometimes move over time and cause the leak at the right n left foot well.
    The rears start from the b pillar and head down on top of the rear quarter glass to the rear boot area(well for DC2-not 100% for eg)
    My eg is doing the same thing. Check the rear hose outlets as well cos they might be leaking also.

    Remove roof lining to get access to sunroof and the drain hoses..you might have to fiddle around under the dash to check if its still draining to the fender..

    Quick question, the sunroof when closed probably shouldn't be letting too much water into the drain hoses right? Coz yeah floor is pretty wet so me thinks it is most likely the plastic under windscreen.

    Yeah I guess it depends how much its pissing down..

    Check windscreen first since its easier..then go from there
    Check your cowl thingy n make sure its sealed properly too. - oh wait that's what you're already doing.

    So who has experience with checking the sunroof drain hoses on the rear of an ek.. Getting suspect water leak into the boot as well,

    Where to look for particular connection as pictured above in the rear?
