T350c Water Ingress

[NailedOn]

Its has been raining then rained some more. For the first time I've had water ponding under the mat in the driver's footwell. Driving in heavy rain does seem to force some water in at the leading edge of the driver's door.
The car is in for service next week. Are there any known leakage points I can get fixed?

I remember on my Chim that when it leaked, David Gerald Sportscars simply fixed what they called the most obvious two or three, and that did the trick.

All advice and experiences welcome.

The door seal is the biggest culprit. Make sure it is seated properly (and there is no gap where it joins). It is also crucial to have the small indents in the bottom of the seal to allow water to run outside the seal and not inside the car onto the carpet. Do a search on here for photos of these indents in the seal.

Thanks. I'll get the door seals checked next week.

Just realised I never updated that old post... it was the door seals in my case. STR8SIX sorted the problem by replacing the driver's side seal and adjusting the door fit slightly.

Now I just need to do the passenger side, which started to do the same on the European trip down to my wedding... which reminds me I need to post an update on that too

Good luck fixing yours... soggy carpet wet dog smell in a TVR isn't good.
