Water leak into footwell - dodgy seal info and DIY repair guide (Image links dead)

[LEE69]

If it's under a warranty I'm sure they will sort it out, but i can't see them removing the interior/carpet/soundproofing to do rid the water completely.

Should I leave the carpet wet til they have checked it? Is it possible the leak could be just the rear door and its running along the floor into the front?

If its been leaking for a while then it can take days to dry out even with the help of a dehumidifier.
It could be either of the doors and tracking either way depending on which it is.

Well I bought mine from a seat dealership and they wouldn't do it under warranty

what i mean is if i only have a car for 2 hours, can the worm out of fixing the leak?

Its a common known problem in my opinion if you bought it from a main dealer, they should have sorted it before you bought it, I would certianly ask the dealer to fix it, if not PM dubsteve68 on here, hes in Lancashire as well and Im sure he will sort you out much cheaper than a dealer, he did mine and did a very good job I must say.

I didnt buy from a SEAT dealer, got it from Lancashire motor company in penwortham. I might take u up on the offer if they dont sort it. I also need to check the speaker in the doors too as there is not sound coming from them when i plugged in my alpine hu. I didnt expect this **** the day i buy the car

Call me old fashioned but I shouldnt have to after less than a day of owning the car. If i had it 4 months not 4 hours then fair enough. i cant pm anyone?

Oh right, thanks. I spoke to the garage, hopefully get it booked in for next week, waiting for a call back to arrange and try and borrow a car whilst they do it. Fingers crossed, but this guide is really helpful.

I'll print the guide off and leave it in the car lol. I went out to the car this morning and when i opened all the doors to check for any water, the front passenger just dropped a **** load of water onto the floor from under the door card.
