Wet Passenger Carpet

Where does the water normally come in? Is if from the windscreen if so, whereabouts ?
Thanks, Scabby

Have you got sunroofs? if so the sunroof drains can become broken/blocked you will have to remove/loosen the headlining to sort.

Screens are bonded and usually don't leak but mine started as the metal above it had started to corrode, it was dripping off the rear view mirror all over the centre console/gearstick/diff lock.

It could even be coming in from a dodgy alpine window if you park it on a slope front end facing down but I would doubt that.

Passenger door seal could also be a good place to look.

My bulkhead also had a small rust hole in it that let a little bit of water in occasionally.

You could use the old hosepipe trick to find it (or rain if its anything like it is at mine at the moment but with the hose you can single out suspected areas) I have been told by a mechanic that you can lightly dust the suspected area inside and then look for "runs" in the talc but I simply just looked with a torch for the runs.

Just a quick thought its not screen wash is it? (I think the pipe to the rear washer runs along the top of that side as well).

Check the floor for holes.that will prob be the culprit

Just went out to mine and I've got the same! I'm hoping it's from the windscreen as I only sorted that on Friday and I have not long done the sunroofs.

If you have it, remove the underlay (with help from Stanley) and let it dry out as they act like a sponge and rot them from the inside out.

Some who like to wade remove the underlay and quite often the carpet and leave them out.

I've kept mine but painted the inside with hammerite red oxide.

Mine leaked everywhere, pain in the as . window, gutter. door seal , bulkhead skuttle. inner wing etc. Found talcum powder with water hose a great help..

Mine leaked almost everywhere too. Most landies are notorious for it.

All sealed up now though I hope. Haven't had any water the footwells in the recent heavy rain so fingers crossed.

Admittedly though I have sealed the sunroofs forever so that's always a good start. Fecking waste of time anyway. No point having em open whilst driving as they make too much noise. And generally a rubbish design. So tigersealed em shut.

Also been round the windscreen with tiger seal. And resealed the alpine windows.
My bulkhead has also been repaired so no leaks from there either.

I no longer have carpet or the horrible foam stuff underneath but at least it stays dry inside.

My old Disco had a leaking sunroof. I suspected the sunroof drains had become blocked so came up with a cunning plan.
I planned to remove the A pillar plastic cover, locate the drain tube, cut it, blow up it, blow down it and rejoin it.
So I removed the A pillar plastic cover, located a tube, and cut through the co-ax for the radio aerial............bollocks
