Re: Water in floorboard! Help

Well it rained last night... I put an old glass shower door over the sunroof and ensured the rain tray was over the cabin air fan, seemed that the car was dry. So I think I've narrowed it down. I just reached up under the dash and realized that pad is all that stands between the cabin floor and the ...

Re: Water in floorboard! Help

I've heard of those plastic engine splash pans on MK2s, but never actually seen one, lol. Ja, this is a puzzler... Usually, you can tell if it's the door plastic, if the bottoms of the doorcards are damp. If you remove them, you can often see stains where the moisture has crept up, or even smell mu...

Re: Water in floorboard! Help

The times I see the lake forming in the footwells are when the raintray is missing or fails to cover the fresh air intake (AC models) and when the plastic behind the doorcards is not completely sealed to the metal of the door. A windshield leak is rarely that severe. I've checked and rechecked the ...

The plastic inside the door panels is not just for dust. Sadly, it is vital to have that plastic sealed to the metal and a flap also hanging inside, to keep water from going into the cabin. The window sill has the rubber strips, but they are only modestly useful. I'd also check that the weep holes ...

Re: Water in floorboard! Help

And it happens when the car is parked... The screen over my cabin air intake is in great condition. Very minimal leaves under my rain tray. I can't find the high point of the moisture. It literally almost seems as if the water is traveling up from under the car. I'm banging my head trying to find it?

Water in floorboard! Help

I've got a 91 jetta gl and the floor is full of water, only on the passengers side, but both front and rear floors. More water in the back than the front. I can't, for the life of me, find where it's coming from! Thanks in advance.
