VXR8 water leak bulletin

[Demon Hill]

Vehicle - 2007 VXR8

I have a water leak inside the car that I can't seem to find, the carpets are dry but the insulation under the carpets in the front/rear drivers side and the rear passenger side is wet and the car is starting to smell damp. The garage where I get the car serviced has played with the rear door plastic sheeting and drain holes on two occasions, but everywhere is still wet.

I read somewhere about a bulletin that was released back in 2007, does anybody have a copy or know how I can get hold of one.

Ref number 07-TI-37
Group C-49
Release date 19/09/07
Revision 00

Apart from drilling holes in the floor as someone once suggested.....has anyone have any other ideas of possible water entry points, and what would be the best way of drying the car out, I thought all of this dry/hot weather would work, but it hasn't.

Thanks

An Update on mine.
I originally started the thread.
After months of looking at mine for the water leak, i have finally found it.
Mine was.....where the pollen filter should be under the bonnet there is ( from memory ) a 2 inch or so drain grommet to take the rain water from the scuttle pan area down to underneath the car and out.
The grommet was a bit loose in its hole so take out , put some silicon around and re seal.
job done
at the same time there was two smaller holes nearby with no grommets in them so sealed them up too.
not sure which was letting the water in, but it dosnt now, that was a year or so ago.
hope this helps you as i know how frustrating it is trying to source the leak

Thanks for the reply, is the scuttle area where the wiper motor is hidden, under a plastic cover ? and I assume this cover has to come off ?
