    Hi,
    some time ago I noticed that my windows in the Golf were parching terribly, and that I was driving myself, I did not notice that it was because of the damp on the floor.
    The passenger behind the driver has a lake and I don't know where it comes from, from the bottom it looks like the countryside is okay.
    Where to find the culprit?
    It looks as if only the floor was wet, the upholstery in the circle is dry.

    Check that there is no loss of fluid in the car. If not, take a hose with water and pour it over the car and check if it is leaking somewhere (door seals, glass, etc.). Certainly the bottom is healthy and whole.

    Well, I don't see anywhere to drip :(
    There is no leakage in the radiator fluid, because the driver is dry.

    Recently, I had such a case of Corsa C, the sidewalk under the driver is wet, it is nowhere to be seen that it is poured through gaskets, etc. The reason was the lack of a gasket in the rear lamp and water could overflow to the front of the car. So if nobody poured you inside, there must be a reason :D

    Ok, before I start pouring the water over the paint, how am I supposed to dry it pretty quickly? The garage is gone because I don't have one :(
    I lined up with bags with balls that absorb moisture like (such from RTV equipment) almost 100 pieces, but still wet as at the beginning

    If you are sure that your heater is not leaking, check (observe) the door seal during rainfall. Maybe the floor plugs (bottom) fell out. If you have a rear wiper, look for a leak in a damaged washer tube (or connection) that is routed to the right side of the body. In what condition do you have the thresholds in the car, especially the right one, because heavily corroded and holes can cause flooding of the floor. Check the lower part of the right fender, because if it is corroded, the part of the wheel arch that touches the "pillar" of the front door will also have holes and water from under the wheel will pour inside.

    The seal is observed, because the floor is completely and there is no rust :)
    The trunk is dry, so I exclude the wiper, I never used it for the rest :)

    And at 99% you have water in the cabin. Loosen the sheet metal, tighten the silicone and it will be
    well.

    I had the same problem in Leon, the reason was the seal between the sheet holding the glass mechanism and the entire door, water poured from under the upholstery to the threshold and then inside. And all thanks to the replacement of the glass mechanism. So I took out the upholstery and sealed it with silicone, unfortunately after the winter the problem came back, I took out the upholstery a second time and sealed it with glass glue and for now peace of mind. If you are not sure, remove the upholstery, open the door and pour water from the hose for a few minutes on the glass, the awl will come out of the bag. ;)

    I found the problem, one rubber plug fell out, hidden behind the threshold, and the other just behind the front threshold at the height of the riser .....

    Where to find one? how is it called ?
    (because it's a shame to ride on a reptile tape :) )
