I have noticed during the last few days of rain a small puddle forming on the seal between door and foot well front drivers side. I have previously had problems with both rear door seals leaking but my local dealer fixed first time Quite a common fault.has anybody else had problems with fronts.

Funnily enough I've noticed the same on my vRS (54 plate).

It's not made it's way into the cabin, but sits on the sill and part of the bodywork that's covered by the underside of the doors.

It's a common problem. The rain water collects at the bottom of the doors with nowhere to go.

Not sure if there is a dealer fix.

Same here too

Whilst it's not exactly desirable I don't think it's a problem, is it?

If you look at the underside of your doors you will see a drain hole. Thats where the water comes from, it's suposed to.

All good then!

No more sleepless nights for me

The holes in the bottom of door allows water to drain from door inner having passed between glass and seal. The rubber door seal is higher than sill top level, it is unlikely that even allowing for some capillery action the water could flow uphill sufficiently to sit on top of rubber.As yet water does not enter cab but of course it is Summer and we do not have prolonged periods of heavy rain

I think its a drainage hole and also the air conditioning outlet for the excess water from the cold air. my dad passats does the same.

Rear nearside passenger footwell in Jane's 54 plate vRS is sodden.Carpet and mat.Even gone a bit flippin mouldy

Can't work out from threads what the answer is.Air con? Door seals? Drainage

Best get it booked in asap methinks.

Door seals, pretty much guaranteed, can check by feeling the rear door card upholstery at the bottom, chances are it too is soaking wet.

Mine and many others have had the same problem. There is a guide on the boards to doing the repair yourself if your that way inclined.

How much it will cost to get it done will depend on if your door carriers are riveted or bolted on. (Luckily, mine were bolted on).

You can either buy the dum-dum seal or go the cheap route and put sealant on, I did the latter and after gongi through some horrendous floods and teeming rain my doors are nice and dry.

Cheers Colkai.I am presuming we are covered under warranty as it is only 2 years old so will ask the dealer.

Warranty will cover it Loz. It sounds like the rear ancillary covers again. You'll probably be able to get the carpets changed aswell if they're going mouldy.
