I seem to have leaking passenger doors in my Fabia 2003 1.2htp, The water is in the door wetting the botom of the door trim then leaking into the footwells espesially during heavy rain. Does anyone know what causes this, my dealer checked it but couldnt find a problem.

Thanx

Get them to check the windscreen. There were a few like that, and a new seal on the screen is one fix.

Part of the problem is that so much water seems to flow on the inside of the doors when the car is left standing in the rain.

I find gallons of water (I exagerrate slightly) accumulates inside the front and rear doors and doesn't disperse until after I've opened them, often hours after it's stopped raining. As far as I can tell there's no water getting in past the door seals. It's more of a problem on the driver's side because the car is parked on the left at a slight tilt caused by the camber of the road.

Presumably this accounts for the marks left on the outside sills where the water has flowed out from behind the doors. I've noticed these on quite a lot of Fabias, especially silver ones.

Has anyone found a cure for this or is it a design feature we just have to live with?
