After the heavy rain i seem to have aquired a lake in the passenger footwell, when i open the door there seems to be alot of water round the bottom seal, as my car is out of warranty any suggestions to a fix?

faulty seal most likely, but i've had this before on a different car.. turned out to be a tool (socket or something similar) had been left somewhere near the bulkhead behind the engine and had blocked one of the drainage holes - hence a pond in the footwell.

higgster it is a known fault and should be covered under warranty, dont dry out just take it to them or they will want evidence rolleyes. Also if you get your door handles done at the same time they will replace the door cards anyway

Thanks for the response but after dealing with vauxhalls excellent warranty team over brakes, il think il just change the seal myself.
