Water on passenger footwel

Post by AldoG420 » Mon Dec 31, 2012 3:50 pm

Hey guys .. It has bin a long time since I last been here so I will start wishing everyone a happy new year ..
Now on a different matter , went to clean my car last week ago to discover that the driver side back seat floor was flooded :( I've hoovered most of it out .. Haven't used it for the last week an checked today and it still wet like some more water as got in .. All the windows are close and I can't notice anything wrong with the door .. So as anyone encounter the same problem before ? Thanks for any replys .
Regards

I assume its an e53 model.

I've not had any similar issues, but have you got a sunroof? And has it been raining lots, you could test if that's leaking or door seals by pouring watering can of water over the near side rear door or sunroof area and see if any leaks.

Not sure of any other ideas apart from if there is a air vent somewhere in door pillars it might be the culprit.

Hey, thank you for the reply . Will look into it today. As my x5 hasn't got sunroof so hopefully it will be the membrane that needs replacing .

Happy 2013 !!
