Postby nuno almeida on Tue Feb 19, 2013 6:26 pm

Good afternoon I have a problem with my car a fiesta mk3 1992 and the ground water enters the driver's side is full of water. Already pulled the carpet but I see no holes or anything. Any of you guys ever had this problem thanked a help from you thanks. :x

Yes, I have that problem now. I've discovered the windscreen isn't sealing properly so it's leaking a lot when it rains. All the rain water ends up in the front footwells :(

I'll have to check the rubber windscreen water concentrates any where near the center console has a lever of change. As to the door rubbers but I doubt I will see if the rubber doors water would be more concentrated near the door and I close the door the carpet is dry ....
