Well I think it's safe for me to re-fit the A pillar trim.
This morning the drivers foot well wet again, a pillar and roof lining completely dry now.
Not sure if the footwell is wet from a week ago or whether it's freshly wet.......

Any other ideas for where the water is coming in?

I'm out of ideas now :evil:

I think if that was leaking though the roof lining would be wet?
I'm puzzled as to where it's leaking... my only other guess is the door seal - but again i'm not 100% on that either...

Thanks Steve,
So I'm guessing the sill drains are shown where the liquid is running from on the last picture? A flat blade screwdriver will clear it?
Did you also suffer with a wet foot well? Thanks

is it the original screen ? ,sometimes if it's had a replacement screen and it's not bonded correctly it can leak.

It's funny you ask that, on a recent MOT, there was an advisory for 2 marks on the windscreen, one less than 10mm and the other bigger than 40mm. There is no receipt to say it's had a new windscreen but I can't find these marks that have been mentioned whatsoever... So windscreen - it may have had!

It would certainly explain why I have water droplets inside the windscreen to clear.......

Didn't he have autoglass to repair the windscreen?

If it's a replacement then won't it have different logos to the other windows?

I had an occasional leak where water would appear on top of the sill. I think it had run round the door. Never found out what it was :(

When I had a leak in the boot of my BMW after an accident repair the bodyshop sprinkled talc powder around the suspect area,any water that comes in will show track marks in the talc,not sure if it's applicable in your case but it's something to try on perhaps the plastic kick panel an doorstep area.I suspect the water droplets on the inside of the screen are merely condensation from the wet carpet.

If he did rwb I can't find a receipt for it, don't mention him saying it either :oops:
Where should the logos be? I've not seen any logos on the screen?

the logo should be on either the bottom right or left of the screen ,if it's original it will be the same a the logo on the door glass, i think it's st gobain glass, if it's auto glass, or rac or the like then you will know it's been changed.

Well he's just replied.
Windscreen was replaced 2-3 years ago, was done on the insurance - hence no receipt.
Autoglass replaced it.

So Can I get someone to re-bond this current windscreen etc, please no one tell me I have to fork out for a new screen? :shock:
