Hi guys,I noticed the back left foot area of my car soaking wet.After stress testing with alot of water i found that there is some water going into the cabin from the door area near the bottom.Any idea who/where i should take my car to get it checked out?I drive an E39.Thanks a million! Cheers

Aiseh, what year model is your ride? Never heard of such issue with the e39..

Hey bro,

A bit curious, how does the water seep thru the bottom seals? Unless car has been thru a puddle of water and it gets splashed into the cabin?

Hope your problem can be rectified soon mate, what with our current rainy season...

Its the vapor barrier/seals.

Haywire is 101% right! I had the problem before too. Ask your mechanic to check the door vapor barrier. Seal the doorcard with new blackie seal after that, don't use back the old one.
