Water in drivers foot well.........

[stiller_uk]

I've noticed my carpet is getting very in my drivers foot well.

Its only wet in the centre, not on any of the sides.

Its not my heater matrix (i'm not loosing water), its not my door seal and its theres not a hole under my battery tray!

Any1 else had this problem?

I'm thinking of pulling all my carpet and sound deadoning stuff up now and painting the floor. Any1 got any pics of a bare nova floor?

Thanks

Had the same problem with mine a couple of weeks back, turned out to be the seal on the windscreen.

Just drill a hole in the floor to let it out :lol:

Only joking mate, probably the windscreen rubber.

How should i go about repairing this rust hole?

Chop the battery holder off > weld a plate in >weld battery holder bk in?

that was just tack gas welded in, as we ran out of argon lol

its gonna be seamed in properly

M8, that is one ma-hoooooo-sive weld repair!!!!!!!!!!!

I think i might have a go with fibre glass for now!

Cant afford to have the car off the road to weld it up properly.

Any gen on the fibre glass? will it be ok?
