Spooky eh @Brian P38 .if I has a colour coded back bumper can I have it.
It has colour coded inserts in the bumpers, and very nice they are too.Oh bugger get it out, the carpet that is,and hang it in the garage/greenhouse. Sprinkle some talc once you've dried the boot area that should pinpoint the source of the leak.
Yes to the seat removal,if it's not a full colour coded bumper then torch the fecker.
can you stand it in the bath or drape it over a shower cubicle? I suppose over a fence if the weather permits.
I seem to remember another use for talc finding moist areas.......................Oh bugger get it out, the carpet that is,and hang it in the garage/greenhouse. Sprinkle some talc once you've dried the boot area that should pinpoint the source of the leak.
And me.I do
Sometimes drastic action is required, it would probably have taken years to dry out if ever, good call.
That’s why all the advice about using talcum power to track the water. It is very possible that it’s coming from the bolt locations under the folds of the metal plate. That’s exactly the terrain in the L322 boot that I found the water path. Perhaps someone knows how that section of body is layered up at the weld stage of build that could offer a path from above your waterline, to use a phrase.We went out in it today to take herself for a digital retinopathy appointment.
No water in evidence when we got in the car, but by the time we got home some "Magic" water had made its way into the two seat mount indents while the rest of the floorpan was dry. Maybe it has sloshed out from the two holes where the bolts are and then settled there.
No drip-marks or wet spots on the headlining.
Curious indeed.

I think the driving around (in the rain and on wet roads) has possibly meant that some has got in through seams, but I am more inclined to think it has slopped from those 2 holes where the bolts and the bigger bolt head are.
