Driver's footwell constantly wet

[LEE69]

Check the pollen filter seal and the opposite side, the seal for where the electrics enter the car from under the scuttle

Cool, I will have a look tomorrow. The scuttle being the black panel where the wipers are...??

I had the same problem with mine, leaking through bulk head. you might want to look at getting the under felt replaced or getting it completely dried out,when you got the leak sorted
so you don't get dampy rotting smell then,that's what i had done with mine, it's as dry as a bone now, and no more condensation on the windows.

Yeah take off the wipers then remove the scuttle and clean all the leaves and crud out

If you have any mastic a helping around the electric cable one wouldn't go a miss

I've just been quoted... wait for it.... £500 by my local dealership (Colliers Acocks Green) for the replacement of the four door seals. I have tried to speak to Seat to see if there is any help they can offer but apparently none of us really have wet cars... it's just our opion, not a real problem!! Why do they call them Customer Services?

 

[LEE69]

Maybe they need directing to he relevant threads on here

Follow the guide with a tube of mastic

 

[Chl0ed1]

I've already quoted the forum and the many other sites that refer to this problem... but they are not interested. They only class it as an issue if it is referred through their dealerships.... I pointed out that their dealerships are so expensive that few people would be using them, but it was like talking to a brick wall!

Thanks re: the advice. I've already downloaded the guide... and now am off in search of someone to help me with it!

I'm suffering with dodgy ancillary panel seal - as a temporay measure I have taped plastic along the Bottom of the door card so that water is directed back out over the sill and not into the footwell - works tilli get round to fixing

i got a price of £60 a door plus £70 a door fitting today, what jokers

well looks like ill buy the part for £30 or whatever and give it ago myself cause im getting quite pissed off driving to work in a swimming pool.

Just checked my car and i have a wet patch in the middle of the drivers footwell and its ever so slightly damp in the rear drivers footwell could this be seals or something else its not damp at the front where the seal in just bang in the middle

 

[LEE69]

Are the plastic "step overs" wet when you have opened the door?

 

[smithsc]

Yes you can see water on them but only the front door

 

[LEE69]

There you go, that seal needs doing.
