Its common. I've had the same problem.

As the guys so sweetly said, do a search, there is a thread somewhere that explains a modification to the rubber door seal which will solve this.

A search is also the best starting point, as repeated questions do "ruffle" the feathers of some members

Basically take off your door panel undo the bolts around the metal ancillary carrier pull it out a bit, clean it all up with acetone or the likes and squeeze clear silicone sealant or whatever you have around it and bolt it back up then wipe away the excess. Or buy a roll of the seal from the dealer and re do it. Its easy took me an hour and a half to do all my doors and theres no leaks now.

Also take the seal off the bottom of the doors and clean them, then make sure the drainage holes in the bottom of the doors are clear too.

The arm rest is quite pricey and can be bought from dealer for around £110 its in the accessories section on seat.co.uk the ones on ebay are s**t dont bother with them.

Hope this helps you mate

Oh and welcome to the community!!!!!!

I have a Leon 2002 Plate and I have leaks too. Mine is the doors where it leaks behind the regulators as there is a bad seal... look at this

(i had to space it out like that as the forum wouldn't let me post a link just yet. Just delete the spaces when you copy and paste)


But if yours is just in the passenger foot well it might not be the door it might be your pollen filter as that link also discribes.

hope this helps
