Water in passenger footwell

[finestjammy]

On holiday at the moment and I usually always put a cover on overnight. However, the blighter kept blowing away, so I left it off yesterday. It rained heavily and now the passenger footwell is sodden. The roof seems fine and no water anywhere else. Where's the first place to check?

Thanks.

Are the carpets wet behind the seat of just in front of the seat?

Did it happen when stationary? mine leaked on the move and it wasn't until i had to change the battery that i saw a large whole where the battery box is bolted straight to the fibre glass!!!!

I'm not with the car now, but I'm pretty sure it was just in front of the seats.

Yes, happened when parked up for the day and overnight.

Previous owner had problems with water coming in through the wheel arch as he had the wrong size wheels on and they rubbed the fibreglass down making it porous. Possibly not your problem though if you weren't driving

Have a look at the bottom of the door seals, should be a couple of 'indents' to let water flow outside.

I've noticed about an inch of water behind my passenger seat what causes this?

hood leaks i believe.

One the commonest reasons as Timja said is the hood area above the velcro needs a waterproof treatment
