Thanks again.

Thanks, David for the information - was the underfelt in one piece? As the driver and rear footwell were the only areas to get wet was thinking of just removing / lifting that side to get at the underfelt and how is the carpet fitted to the door sill area? Thanks again that was a great help.

Hi - did the garage tell you which area was blocked, as previously mentioned it is important that the leak is resolved. I have had a similar problem with my wife’s Citigo - I have managed to remove most of the water and next job is to lift carpet and remove insulation. Best of luck.

Sorry - at the time most of the water was ending up in the rear footwell as vehicle was on slight incline, only noticed that the drivers side was also wet when i started to remove with Vax. thanks again for helping out.

Update on water problem - hopefully found it - the drain holes under the windscreen were blocked, once the crud was vacuumed out and leaves removed, water went straight out under the car. I managed to use my Vac to remove the water from the footwell although my next task is to get to the sound insulation to remove/dry out. I think the water was draining into the car through the heater.

I hope I have resolved a water leak but now faced with wet carpets/insulation - has anybody removed fitted carpets, is it a big job?

Many thanks Steve for pointing me in the direction of the Up forum - loads of articles and hopefully areas to investigate - never thought of the roof mounted brake light😀 I now need to remove the carpets and sound proof matting - hope I can do this without removing the seats. hows the weather down there in Cornwall?

I have recently encountered rain water getting into the rear footwell on the drivers side - 3-4 gallons. I suspect the sunroof but cannot be certain - has any body encountered similar problems with water getting into car, windscreen seal looks a bit suspect.

Hi - can anybody help. Went to move my wife’s car today which has been parked up for over the last 3/4 weeks - welcomed with a considerable amount of water in rear footwell on drivers side. noticed rear roof lining is damp. The car was recently serviced by garage - wondering if the sunroof was not closed properly or possible drain channels blocked. also where do the drain tubes/channels exit on three door car? This is the first time it has happened - low mileage car. Thanks for any help, Malc
