Water leak front passanger door

[Gidas]

Hello,

 

I got a problem regarding front passanger side doors on my Skoda Superb 3U4 2006 1.9.  after rain water leaks into cabin filling this under door well and slipping up into cabin. Perhaps someone got this problem and could advise ? I'm sure its not polen filter and I cleaned drain hole under battery.. Driver side is always fine and no water gathers after rain only this passanger side leaks.. 😞 Many thanks !

You need to take off the interior door card and then degrease and seal around the silver metal door regulator panel.  Use a decent quality sealant of your choice.  Exterior silicone will do.

well its funny I'm no car guy so removed panel that was not hard and was thinking okay so need to add silicone between this panel and metal part did it and just after it dingd to me that u meant the two metal sheets that have seal in between.. (smart) so removed plastic panal again and also seald that. now just waiting for rainy day to see if it worked  thanks for this tip

After rainy day no leak I guess it's fixed thanks tdi1.9 😄

You're welcome, Gidas.   Keep an eye on the other 3 doors, and have a read through the link gfinneran suggested.

These cars like to leak, but with patience can be fixed!

I have same problem, I've done pollen filter and it was fine for a few weeks as no rain. It now ****ing in water again from somewhere. It hasn't got a sunroof so I can only think it's the door. It's only passenger side also which made me think it was still the pollen filter. When sealing the door do you remove the metal plate cover or just seal around it? 

[gfinneran]

Sealing around will work, taking off the metal panel is more time/work, if you seal around the edge you can always remove it later if the window regulator or door locks fail both of which are common faults that require the metal panel to be removed.
