Hi all, at the moment I've got a mk5 fiesta which I'm trying to fix all the niggly bits so I can sell it to buy a lovely old mk1 fiesta!

For some reason the rear foot wells (it's a 3 door with a sunroof) are always damp and if left for a while starts going mouldy ( a week or so)

I have had the sunroof out, cleaned the seals and made sure the channels are clear which they all were, Vaselined the seal etc

I have also done this to all the seals on the car, and it still is happening

I have also checked underneath In case of any holes but it's all solid!

Has anyone got any ideas as to what it could be?

Cheers

Luke

 

Really the only way of doing it is strip out all the seats/carpets/trims/headlining and water test it an area at a time to see where the leak is.

 

Are any of the plastic bungs in the floor missing? unlikely if its as much water as you say but worth a go.

Does the wetness still appear if the car hasnt been driven?

 

as GVK says ,its the only way to do it.
there was issues with the sealer on the roof and back of c pillars not being correct.

 

The sun roof drains into the cills and your cills are full of water and its flowing into the car.

Drill a few holes in each cill and paint them up so thay dont rust this will help them to stop filling up to quick...

my car has the same issue lol.

 

Drill it underneath do you mean?

 

Yeah the bottom of the cills, I drill 6 holes each side two in front two in middle and two in back now no more flooding

 

Brilliant cheers!
