jennybash Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 I have noticed more and more recently that instead of the roof leaking, i'm collecting water. It collects on the drivers side between the door and the bottom door frame (foot kick plate thing). Has anyone else got the same?? It mainly happens when it rains but i'm not sure where it comes from. I think it could possibly be the door hinge where it joins the main body of the car. Quote
hertsnminds Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 I used to get puddles on my door sills until I had the new seals fitted. They got so bad that they spilled over into the drivers footwell. If I didn't have rubber mats the carpet would be very green by now. All water should drain through the seals and out of the bottom of the door, you can see it on a dry morning after some rain [img]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ian.barnett53/Pluriel%20web/Pluriel%20pics/leaks/doordrain.jpg[/img] If your seals are not draining correctly you will see this when you open the door, or worse puddles in the footwell.

There are many soft top cars that have the water in the footwell issue and they all occur as water does not drain quickly enough from the bottom of the door seal. Ian Orange 03 Senso Quote
hertsnminds Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Spoke too soon, puddle in passenger side footwell this morning. Another one to go back on the list for the November visit to the Citroen garage. Just as well the car is always booked in for some work :D Ian Orange 03 Senso Quote
pork_pie Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Nice floormats. Hope the leaks get sorted. Good luck. Quote
hertsnminds Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 OK, Wallace and Grommit floormats I got about 4 years ago from Halfords. They spent 3.5 years in a left hand drive car and now they are in the RHD Pluriel. So I used to have Wallace under the pedals now I have Grommit. Anyone for more cheese???? Can't find them on the web but go to this US web site and search for car mat [url="http://www.wickedcoolstuff.com/"]http://www.wickedcoolstuff.com/[/url] Ian Orange 03 Senso Quote
