please dont slate me if this sounds stupid but in my 3dr ive had a wet carpet on both pas/drivers side footwell,ive lifted carpet and undelay and can see water is coming in from vents in floorpan.can i patch these up or are they a must? also what would you use to cover before undelay goes back on?hope someone can give advice

 

ive covered mine in the saff as the same was happening and they were rusted!

 

how did you cover them?

 

Ive plated over mine, then seem sealed and painted over them, dont forget to spray some waxoil into them from the underneath.

 

i did have that in mind mate but i wanted to check before i got the welder out

 

can these leak without rot present underneath? i only ask as my footwells get damp but there is no rust on my car and its never been welded, ive checked all around windscreen plus sunroof drains, doorseals etc and it isnt the heater matrix either, do you think it could be these?

 

possibly mate if youve checked everything else and had no joy

 

there is a layer of what looks like sound deadning that covers them and mine was all cracked and broken away that has caused it to start leaking through underlay and carpet no rot around the vents though mate

 

cheers ill have a look mine may not have any sound deadening at all as its had a full colour change inside outside and underneath

 

fingers crossed for ya as its a pain in the ass

 

cheers

 

Have you checked the wiring loom grommets where they pass through the bulkhead?

 

Try the seal under the fuse box one of mine leaked through there
