Drivers door leaking

[bullibuskombi]

Hi
U have a 22 6.1 Ocean and have noticed water pooling in the drivers foot well and on the sill.
I see beads of water below the door card and suspect that the seal between the window carrier and the door frame is faulty and allowing water to breach the seal. I have checked the drain holes and they are clear.
It's with VW at the moment and they are saying it's water from the awning when I open the door! I think I may have noticed that.

Has anyone any experience of this?

Thanks

Colin

I’d agree with you that it’s the window seal and excess is hitting the drain holes. As you are under warranty should be covered and with a hose for them an easy test.

Hi,
It's with the dealers at the moment.
They stated its water from the awning when I open the door! They say the water test did not reveal a leak.
I have rejected their diagnosis and am in ongoing discussion in order to get them to inspect the window carrier seal.

I have it too, looked several times myself, but could not find root cause.

I had this issue on a Golf, replacing the seal cured it.
Now to get VW to accept there is an issue.

Is there a chance of it being a blocked roof drain?

The door is designed to receive water , then it drains through the bottom of the door (outside the weather seal).
If water is getting past the seal, the water route is compromised and needs to be cleared to allow proper ventilation of the water

Unlikely.

Don't think so, there are water droplets coning from behind the door card.
Do you know how you could identify a blocked roof drain?

Blocked drain hole wet carpet

My front carpet under the driver's seat is soaking wet people have said it looks like the front drain hole could be blocked Water seems to be collecting there when I pour some into the Chanel. just trying to fathom out how water blocked on the roof can leak down behind the dashboard and soak...

Looking again, I guess the water would be further into the footwear if it were a blocked drain?
