with the rarity of the sun shining today i decided to swap the seat over. so i start on the passenger side and immediately noticed the matt wet, checked the carpet at it was soaking!! so i continued with the removal of the seat and when i pulled the carpet up there was water just chilling there. not a clue how and where its come from. havent driven her as much in the past few days and day before yesterday took her for a spin and to fuel up. so i literally dont know where its come from

 

secondly there is a hole in the floor im guessing maybe it could have come from there but the amount thats in there wouldnt justify it. should there be a rubber seal or something? idk i could be wrong and when i took out the wooden floor board there was a socket just bathing in the water soaked foam.

You say the drain pipes are clear, but check to see if water comes out the bottom of the sill when you pour water down the hole, otherwise it looks to me like your targa drain pipe has come off the bottom of the sill pipe or split. You wouldnt get water sitting in the well like that from a hole in the floor.

Where is the best place to buy the targra drain pipes? Had a quick check and its still attached but there was water on the end cover. Where the tagra pin goes. Thinking best to replace the pipes. Any suggestions? And how do I remove the pillar trim without breaking it more

righty oh pillar off and there was water on the body just past mid way. removed visor and found it to be soaked on the left where its held in with two screws and the other side where the visor click in place also had signs of being wet.

 

thats where the plug is

check the aircon drain is conected,short rubber hose above the ecu.If not any condensation from the ac runs into the footwell.

 

dont know if the air con works and the switches have been disconnected for quite a ong time ill have a look in the moring

update, i found the disconnected pipe from the bung, passenger side!!! slid my hand up some hole and felt around till i found them, pulled them out and put it back together krazy glue and electric tape and jobs a gooden! cut my finger in the process and lost a bolt to the sill. will need to check the drivers side.

 

so as i mentioned before the roof trim was soaked also, where else can the water be coming from?

Check the rubber washers on the wind deflector screws, if they have rotted away you may get some water in there, also check the windscreen rubber along the top, all it takes is a little split between the rubber and the body.
