My Tamora has two interior water leaks, despite two trips to the dealers and replacement of various seals. Before we try again has anyone come across these ?

1. Outer edge of carpet in passenger footwell gets wet. But, apart from the dampness in the carpet and along the groove in the floor everything else seems dry. I can't find any leaks/holes anywhere.

2. Drivers door inner 'skin' gets wet, especially at the base and inside the pocket. Dealer has taken door apart twice and it still happens.

Has anyone come across these in their Tamora, or have any idea where I might start ?

Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I removed the plastic plugs when I first got the car. As it has rained all weekend I have experimented to work out what is happening by placing tissues and towels in specific places, and I think I have sussed it, though I will not really know until I have tried the fixes.

So far as I can tell water is running down the A-pillar and getting into the car. On the passenger side it seems to be coming through the seals at a carpet join. On the drivers side the water is somehow getting past the seals close to the door pocket.

As I have tomoorow off I am popping to the dealers to tell the what I feel needs fixing.

regards

Hi everyone, thought I would update in case anyone else has these problems.

1. removed seal, added silicon sealant and replaced - this cures it.

2. Off to the dealers, so far as I can make out the drivers side seal is the problem and need replacing.

regards
