 |
|
Hope someone can shed some light on this for me?
My front drivers side carpet is soaked after the last couple of days rain. I've checked the front window for small cracks, etc but can't find anything.
HELP! |

| Lift the bonnet, and clean out all the leaves etc, that clog the drain that runs down the side of your front quarter , get a coat hanger and clean it too. |

| get in the car, and get someone to hold the hose over the top of the car, see if you can spot where the leak is coming from then. |

is that the one which goes into the engine bay cos that is where i ran my power cable for my amps but it is sealed cos i stuck the power cable through it. is it okay to use that hole or does that area attract a lot of water. |

| I know you said you checked the windscreen for cracks, but i've had problems with windows not being installed properly (over to one side) causing it to leak around the edges. |

| if the gromet is leaking just apply some silicone, but the one i meant and used to run my amp power through is to the right of the accelerator pedal behind the panel, its about 4-5cm in diameter. |
