Wet carpet

[Big_G]

Does anyone else have a wet carpet problem? Just noticed behind the driver seat is soaking wet, I have mats in the back and it's wet enough to have soaked through. Not sure when or how it's happened, window closes ok & even if it didn't wouldn't really localise to under a car mat. Think I'll have to dry it off and see if it happens again

This is notorious on all makes of cars with frameless doors. The rubber seal doesn't hold its shape in time (surprised that it's this quick though) & leaves a tiny gap for moisture / rain to seep through. Manufacturers trick is to wedge a round rubber pipe into the seal to 'man' it up a little.

Either way its a Ford responsibility. I'd check the seals though... my moneys on it/them

Agree, it's probably the frameless door seal.

Don't suppose you've jetwashed it recently? If you get too close the water will go straight through the seal. I went to a 'hand car wash' place years ago and the young lad put the jet right up near the window and soaked me! It was like the scene from 'Spy who Loved me', where Bond winds his window down and drops the fish out.

I had water in my Mustang the first time I washed it, just using a normal hose pipe. My seal looks a bit twisted and uneven, but been careful since and not had a problem.

Just noticed under my carpet is soaking too, passenger side is fine. I did have the jet washer out last week. Will have to keep an eye on it

Actually just lifted the carpet where the flap is cut for the vin panel under the drivers seat, put my fingers in there and there's a puddle of water at the bottom! Investigated further by taking the side trim off, it's all wet

Took a couple of hours to dry out the carpet yesterday, wet again this morning. Hasn't rained overnight, just morning condensation.
Something not right

Have a check in the boot. I had a Ford that leaked through the back lights, into the wheel well which then crept forward. Also worth doing a reset on the auto window drop (when you open/close the door). Can get messed up if you've had the battery disconnected at all.

Boot is dry, windows are fine and its only the drivers side + it didn't rain overnight and somehow the carpet is wet again .. condensation running in ?
I posted over in the American forum too & had a reply saying its probably a seal around the cowl. Can't get to that though without removing the wipers by the looks of it.
Visit to the dealers tomorrow then :doh:

Was you the guy who had the paint problems? You don't have much luck if it was you.

Probably one for your things to check when picking up your car list [MENTION=20131]Manders Mustang[/MENTION] . I'll be checking mine given the time it spent in a Baltimore snowdrift.

Oh my god, don't you worry I'll be checking everything. Bringing my missus and parents to also look with me, mind you they all wear glasses ;)
