| Subject : Re : paddling When do the footwells fill up with water: when you are driving on wet roads; (look for holes in the floor, in the inner guards, blocked cabin air intake drains) when you let it stand outside overnight in the rain; (blocked cabin air intake drains, blocked sunroof drains especially if it is parked on a slope) or when you go through deep water? (holes in floor, leaking door seals) If you have anti freeze in the coolant (and you should have) does the cabin smell sickly sweet, I.E is the heater matrix leaking inside? The luggage compartment seems like door seals. Have you recently had frozen doors and ripped the rubbers seals when opening the door, or disturbed the seals in pulling open the doors? Recommended before winter is a spray of silicone on the seals which prevent water "sticking" to the rubber and icing doors shut.
