Panic....water on the carpet of the drivers door!!!

[Doni]

Not good....the bottom of the drivers door seems to have water seeping up the carpet of the door. Obviously a leak somewhere but anyone have any suggestions or had this problem before on a Boxster?

Not a very happy bunny sob!

Of more concern should be your ability to swim ashore.

Haven't you got any tissues in your handbag ?

Hi Stuttgart'

The handbag had to go I'm afraid..

Door seals on the door or on the body itself can perish,the leak is maybe comming higher than the bottom of the door and trickling round.hope this helps.

Thanks Paul - wondering where to look for the leak first, don't want to wreck it in the seatch!!

And all this talk of handbags does worry me boys!

Put some Talc around the seals it will help locate if/where the leak is.

Try putting the roof back on!

you're probably have to replace both seals to cure it.Not to expensive and quite easy to do.

Sounds like the same thing as mine - it was the carpets on the doors just below the speakers and could get soaking. I took it to Mike at sportsandclassic and I think the part on a '99 996 was about £30-£50 and then took him under an hour to remove the doors and airbags, remove the old seal and put a new membrane on. Looked pretty easy but wouldn't want to do it myself......

Hi,

Had a similar problem with my 911 cabrio except it was behind the passenger seat. The problem was blocked drain holes not seals. I would check these are clear before you spend lots on new door seals
