Water in rear floor well 206

Water pools in the footwell behind the front seat after it rains. It seems to be entering at the bottom of the rear door near the centre, but I can't see how to prevent this. It comes in mostly on the passenger side when its parked with that side away from the kerb. Anyone else had this problem?

Luckily the carpet seems to be backed with plastic so the water does not spread elsewhere, and is relatively easy to mop up, but is causing terrible misting up problems - or perhaps I have a leaky heater radiator as well!!

This is a 3 year old X reg.

If you take off the door trim, you can check the white membrane that covers the access holes into the door. Make sure there are no splits in it, and that it is properly stuck down around the edges. If not the best thing is to renew it. Shouldn't think it would be the heater matrix, as you would get it in the front footwells first. You could taste it and see if it is sweet!!!

Thanks Nigel, I'll have a look at that tomorrow.

Do you have a sunroof? It'll have a drainage passage that runs from the roof down the side pillars and out at the bottom. I've heard that if this passage gets blocked water can end up in the car.

Solution was to get the rear door seals replaced.

Took the dealer (Palmers, St Albans) 3 goes to get it right though.....

Look for water on the door seal after rain (or a good hosing)

Thanks Rob, and all. There are signs of it getting through the seal at the bottom of the door. At the moment I'm putting a dry towel down and replacing it every day if it rained. That is keeping it fairly dry but obviously only temporary till i can really loacate it. It's got to go for its clevis pin recall soon so maybe i'll get them to do it.
