I've got water leaking into the footwells on both sides.

The door seals have been replaced and the super glue drain mod done.

On the passanger side the carpet is wet at the front above where the door seal turns to go vertical, on the drivers side it's wet along the bottom of the door seal.

My question is, where does the water come from ?
The door seal looks good and there is no evidence of water getting by by using a watering can along the back of the wings / front of doors.
The clutch cylinder seal is ok. The carpets deep in the footwells to the front are dry.\

The only other source I can think of is via the windows and over the back of the door card. The drain holes in the door are clear and water does drain when poured on the door windows.

Has anyone had leaks from the door card ?
If so, any luck using silicone sealant around the door card?

My door cards seem to have a leak somewhere. Water drips down the leather and over the speakers yikes when it's really raining hard. That's the only place i get water dripping in though. Be interested to hear of ways to stop this !

Has your hood been waterproofed recently? It could be soaking through the fabric if it hasn't.

The fault you describe on the passenger side was the same as mine and I cured the problem by removing the seals and inspecting the ridge they press onto. The ridge had a piece out of it, not big at all really but a dab of silicone onto it and seal replaced and that solved it.
