GU wet carpet mystery

Post by Robbo »

:x :x :x Every water crossing l do gets the carpet in the front floor wet under drivers left foot & pass right foot, have searched in & out. Have lifted the carpet for a look but stuffed if l know. All of a sudden this has started, 5 years old & never been wet before now its starting to smell. Very frustrating. :x :x :x

remove all youre carpets, so you can see the bare floor, and......hmmmmm.....take it for a drive through a water crossing and see if the water is seeping in around the seam welds in the floor, or through any other sorts of places.

the kick panels have large holes in them and the water comes up and soaks thru the sponges that are there to try ans stop dust...

other area is the front seat mounting bolts let water thru.......
