Hey all, wondering if anyone can give some advise or has had this problem before but recently i have welded up a rust hole in the drivers side rear bin due to alot of water getting into the rear footwell behind me, only to find out that this hasn't fixed the problem, some have said the door seal or the rear window leaks, but both look fine and no evidence of water below them, the only thing i can think it can be is either a rust hole on the inside of the sill above the tunnel that the front seat mounts too, but then there shouldn't be water in there anyway, or where the previous owner has cut out the second skin on the floor pan and not welded it back to the outer skin for some reason. Would appreciate any input about this as im baffled .

I would get the hose out, remove the carpet and companion bin liners and then try and trace where it's coming in.

Simple but effective method, why didn't i think of that aha, yup was a door seal, letting water in through the bottom and leaking into the rear footwell, thanks for the advise.
