Water in the footwell!

Help! Just after I got the Clubman last fall, I noticed moisture under the rubber mat on the drivers side. Figured one of us spilled a water bottle but once winter arrived I noticed frost forming in the same place. I thought snow from my boots must be the cause so I was very careful after that. No problem for the rest of the winter but, it's been raining like crazy for the past month and when I went to vacuum the car today the water is back. With the warmer weather it's starting to get moldy in there. Anybody know what's causing the problem and how to fix it?

Other people have had problems with either the windshield not being sealed correctly or the side wind seals... Do a search on this site...

Do you have a sunroof? The drain tubes can come off and let water run down to the footwells.

No sunroof, and I don't think it's the windshield. A bad seal at the door sill? I thought I saw something about that here a while back but I haven't found the thread.

Depending on your production date, you probably don't have a "weatherstripping" door seal under the driver's door. All '08s and early '09s all have the rubber seal under the passenger's side door, but have it omitted on the driver's side. Someone correct me on this, but I think the "May production" '09s started showing up with this seal from the factory on the driver's side.

The installation holes are in the door and you can pick up the part from parts. Not sure of the price in the US, but it's about $32 CAD.

There's another thread suggesting that it would be better to leave the holes "open" so they can drain.

No prob elegantmini!

Let us know what you find out. I think the fact that the factory '09s now come with this would suggest it's worth having. Personally, I have noticed moisture on the driver's side when driving on really wet roads or thru a big rain storm...

bentyyc,
I checked and yes, there is a weather strip on the passenger side but not the drivers side. I'll get this taken care of when I go in for my first service. Thanks!!
