Polo 9N3 wet rear footwell

Post by CarLoss »

Howsit so after some heavy rains last night I noticed a puddle of water in the rear footwell behind the drivers seat. Soaking wet carpet. The rest of the interior is bone dry and no evident leak from the sunroof. Windows closed tight and rubber around door is vas. Anyone with similar problems I would appreciate some input. Thanks

Check the round rubber seals under the carpets and insulation.
Easiest would be to jack the car up and look underneath.


Or remove back seats, carpets, insulation and check. You will have to do this any way to make sure everything dries properly.

Are the sunroof drainage channels clean and clear of debris?
