Rear Passenger floor flooding

[Lex]

That's exactly what mine was going

My vt was doing the same thing.
The clear plastic that covers the door wasn't sitting proper.
With the door closed but trim of the door & with the hose on, l was sitting inside the car. l could see the water coming from the clear plastic & running over the door seal.

It seems to effect all commodores, when that clear plastic is not sealing proper.

For me, l'd been stuffing around with speakers. When l finished with speakers l'd neglected set the clear plastic back on the door.

Yes! Definitely saw that today! All where it's the worst on the floor and mould growing up the interior plastic next to the seat

Sounds like you've got you're answer!

Sounds like you've got you're ansanswer

It certainly appears so.

Alright. Await my verdict tomorrow I'm sure I'll have more questions then

Don't forget to dry the underfelt, it will be soaked. I put newspaper under it and changed it every day. Then I used a heat gun to dry it out followed by bissell spot clean to clean the carpet

That's probably my next question, how I go about pulling the carpet out? It's going to need some serious drying, you put your foot down with pressure and puddles of water are in there

Well, tested the hose window trick today. Water came trickling inside and down on the carpet. I tried the other side, not as bad but the drivers side front door leaked quite significantly down to the back floor. All 4 doors from the door card itself! FML
Check it out!

Maybe it doesn’t even have any plastic sheet behind the door card? Seems like an awful lot of water just from a hose test.

Mine was only dripping from a small spot where the mastic wasn’t sealing anymore on both front doors on my SSV and I didn’t even know it was doing it until we had a solid week of rain and the back seat footwells were like swimming pools.

At first I suspected the sunroof but nothing was damp except the rear floor. The water would all run to the back as the car is parked on a slight incline.

Repco sell this for $32.00 . Bunnings might have something similar

Get the door trim of, & see what condition the clear plastic & seal to the door is like?
Might be time for above, @Dayvo s suggestion, new clear?

Yeah, that's this week's job! Check 2 doors to start with and see, I suspect I'll be replacing the plastic sheeting. I'll check repco/supercheap/autobarn. They're all close by.
Just got to find some plastic sheeting to use!
