water coming into e36 cabin

[AZM]

Was driving my E36 thru very heavy thunderstorm last Saturday. My kid complained that the RH rear carpet (driver side) was soaking wet. Suspect that the water coming thru the air cond duct under the driver seat. The area at the outlet was very wet. I only assuming since this is the first time I face this problem. Have anybody face similar problem? P/S: I have inspect the floor board from under the car, could not find any hole or rust area.

AZM;

Another possibility is water seeping in through the window, into the door and under the door card (the door trim inside the car) if the plastic sheet inside the door card is torn or not sealed properly. If this is the case, water will seep into the car everytime it rains or being washed.

...please check your windshiled external seals, ie both the front windscreen & the rear windshield, from the outside.

...the Malaysian heat & weather, over time, has a tendency to melt the joint seals around the windshield/screen & water does seep in, through the gaps & breaks, during an automatic carwash or during our monsoonal torrential thunderstorms...

...have the seals replaced at an authorised & capable workshop or as I do, whenever necessary, at Auto Bavaria...get it done right, the first time...

Maybe you right. I did change front windscreen last month. But only now start to leak. Guess I need to visit that shop again to get it check. Lucky he gave warranty for his workmanship. Thanks again for the feedback.
