My drivers side passenger seat gets very wet.

Pics : http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/tomspics1 ... ayPart8_1#

The first two pics show the offending seat, the rest of my car post respray and new leather seats.

I think the water comes in from the cavity at the front of the seat. You can see the two holes which are at the front edge of the seat. That cavity has water in it. My guess is it comes in from the wheel arch somwhere runs into that cavity and out into the seat via a small opening along the seam. None of the upholstory around the seat is wet. Its not coming down from the roof or anything like that. Any ideas what I can do to stop it? Originally the drain plug from the fuel cap was not connected to the drain pipe. I though that might have been it but Ive fixed that and its still doing it .

Hi Tom, The Sunroof drain may join the pipe from the fuel cap with a t piece. So my guess is that it's not connected to anything now & is running into the car. You will have to remove some trim/head lining to find the pipes & check them. Take the sunroof out & clean out the drains. You may also need new sunroof seals but hopefully not. After 2 years just got around to fixing mine. (Sunroof.)
Whats the blue car in the pic? That yours as well. Looks a bit 240Z like.

that garage looks awful familiar!!.... you wouldn't be based in southport would ya?

I think i tested the sunroof drains and it was running down the piped into the boot as it should. Ill check tommorow.

The blue car is a 911 carrera 3. Its my dads car, currently needs a new clutch.

Not based in southport Colt .

Tom

make sure the front drains are clear too. its possible they roof around the outlet pipes has corroded? or the pipe is off?

your garage looked very similar to the one the guy's had i bought the beastie off thats all

Ah right, whats the beastie then?

gto in my sig

I take it that GTO has the yellow/gold v6 dohc under the hood. Thats one sexeh looking engine.

it sure is bud... cant even thrash it yet its in the running in stage

Ha, that must take a lot of self restraint . What bhp will that be putting out?

it is a lot of self restraint and it should be humping 300bhp and 297ft/lbs torque which is what they was new and its now as a new engine
