This morning when getting ready to go and do a spot of sailing i noticed a little lake in the passenger footwell, Tried to not pay any attention and ignore it. later after i got home i investigated, Turned out to be a rather big lake underneath the carpet!!
Pulled the window pillar trim of and found it was all wet behind
So after stripping all the head lining out and looking around the car whilst i had someone soaking the car with a hose i found the source of the river down my a pillar
Turned out to be this seam. paint had cracked letting in a good amount of water.
proved this by pushing silicone through the seam from the inside and it came outside
In the end i settled for silicone on the inside where no body will see and re painted the outside seam with the same color as the car which i had already mixed.
Now all i have to do is wait for the interior to dry out and keep checking on it once in awhile to make sure its fixed
