I don't have much issues doing that, just not sure what the best thing to use is and how much behind the panel needs to be done?

Superb guide
Felt I had to register just to say thanks for the guide in fixing the leaks.
I am not a car guy, or much of a diy'er, so I can testify that the guide on p33 is fool proof!
I followed it to the letter and seen to have managed it - I'll tell you tomorrow once the rain comes, as it's sure to!
Total nightmare finding a dry place though, had to buy a tarpaulin and hang it from the porch to garage door. (Our garage isn't wide enough and has too much junk!)
I would add that if you've got an old leon like me, you need the star ended screwdriver to get the front door cards off as there are two screws on the bottom, hard to see at first!
Anyway, for those attempting this in 2014 with the rain at the moment, I'd advise a tarpaulin, or garage.
Here's hoping the puddles in my footwells are gone tomorrow!
Cheers

Hey guys, got the butyl seal come through today, its the 6mmx8m jobbie
Just wondering though, have I bought the right size as its seems a bit 'thin' are you meant to flatten it down a bit to increase width coverage or just apply it as it is and once the carrier is tightened back on it will press itself where needed?

That's the same butyl I got.
When working with it you'll find it pretty maluable and it tends to squidge when you apply the force needed to screw in the door card.
After a night of heavy rain mine seems to have held up fine despite the squidging!

I'll need to re do my passenger door again and might check the rear as my central locking isn't popping on two key pushes.
I had exactly this problem - found that disconnecting the battery for a few minutes fixed it.

Well I left my lights on the other night and battery died.

Sogot a Seatt leon a week ago i knew are there was some damp in the back foot well i tried to wet vac it out but had no luck i removed all the trim front and back all the seats lifted the carpet up 2 find a hell of a lot of water both sides front and back the underlay carpet was full with water front and back the underlay carpet behind the dash driver side under the dash was dry but the underlay carpet up behind the dash passenger side was wet i checked the pollen filter box and it felt stuck down but i pulled it off and it looks dry i'm a bit stuck for were the water came from behind the dash passenger side as i think the rest of the water might of come from the door seals an help would be great
3 entry points for the water
1 door carrier seals if so replace using this guide http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3255713#post3255713
2 wiring box under the drivers side scuttle, wipers need to be removed remove the nut and pour boiling water over the area the nuts were something magic happens and then put the wipers vertical and wiggle them off
3 pollen filter, either the cover is not on right, or the actual casing seal as worn, seat use the same shite seal for the all the points water can enter.
