Water ingress

[964russ]

My car lets water in, and its sending me insane.
Since i got the car it gets wet in the front foot wells, the foam and carpets end up wet threw.
Ive done just about everything to stop it, fitted a 993 bonded screen, changed every rubber seal on the car, cleaned out the sunroof drain tubes, ect.
The previous owner had a garage, so hes never had any issues. But the flash now has to live outside.
Any ideas???

Generally these are sun roof issue. Try dribbling water down each drain & check it emerges below. Aside from blockages I've seen split pipes & pipes off from the sunroof itself.
Also check the door drains in the bottom of each door, if these are blocked then the water fills the doors up & it gets into the car.

My 944 sunroof was leaking a while ago & it appears to be because the sunroof wasn't correctly closed! e.g. snugged down hard.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Ive done the sunroof drain problem, they where blocked. So they drain correctly. Iam allmost certain.
The leak is getting better thou. Everytime i fix sumthing else, the car dosnt take on as much water.
Do i need to glue the door seals in? Its the only thing i havent done.
The best option is to buy a house with a garage

the plastic drain pipes can crack

I had major leaks on my 3.2 after I moved and had no garage.
Overnight it would collect 1/2 inch of water in the footwells.

RPM found leaks from - front and rear screen seals, door mirror, door speaker, smugglers box, and more, I will dig out the bill (£775) and see what else there was. The only place it did not leak was the sunroof.

To check for leaks, remove as much trim as possable, without disturbing any seal. Then sit inside and get someone to gently spray the outside. Starting at the bottom and SLOWLY work to the top. DON'T start at the top.

Good luck Dave
