I had the same problem, so I took of the door panel only to find that the door membrane had come unstuck. The local stealer was very helpful and didn't sell me a genuine replacement, but about a metre of something similar that comes on a roll that they use (guess the genuine item is expensive cos a metre only cos about £5). That solved the puddle in the footwell for me :o)

i had this problem on mine and suspected the rear light clusters but never really sorted it :evil: i found if i parked facing downhill it let the water in quite badly but if it was facing uphill no water appeared so i just used to reverse into my drive not really a cure but it worked until i really had a problem with water :evil: :evil: :evil: but thats a different story :cry: :cry:

My mate had a serious leak from his sunroof, it was so bad the ecu in the footwell failed. It was taken to the stealers and dumped there for a week, £600 later and the first heavy rainfull proved that even they couldn't sort the problem. I told him to just dump it back on the forcourt and tell em to sort it at their own cost this time since they didn't do the job properly - he's not happy I can say.

Mine did that - Cheap any easy to fix :)

Was a pain in the arse though getting the bloody carpet dry...sat there at night with a hairdryer!
