Aye, I've ordered a new door seal, just waiting for it to arrive - the joys of living in the Outer Hebrides!

Hi all!
I did start to read through all 78 pages but my clothes went out of fashion, lol
Mine has done this for the second time now, as the mat has been sprayed the water beads are just siting on that.
So would guess if damp by the seal and below the speaker its the door seal?
and
If wet coming from under dash is the pollen filter?
Many thanks

yes, did you use butyl to fix it?
can also be the pollen filter and the electrical box under the scuttle
Cheers Lee,
Ahh just re-read what I typed, lol, I meant its done it for the second time in about two weeks, so not tried to fix it yet.
Had the car over a year and always been quite happy as never leaked, thought maybe as its a 55 plate 2006 model may have escaped the issue!
I shall have a proper look tonight
What I was getting at is, if its the pollen filter, would it damp on carpet under dash?
Then if the door would only be damp along the sill etc...?
Many thanks

Yeah if pollen filter passenger side
electrical box if drivers side is wet.
Yes if top of sill is wet that door.
Thanks lads
Its fairly dry now but the only bit I could find was under the door card. The carpet which I spose covers the bulk head area is bone dry, so guess if there it would leak if pollen.
I did also earlier notice some water on the plastic on the top of the sill, so guess must be the door!
Very good guide and instructions

Nothing so far today despite it pi55ing down!
I shall post photos later but noticed a little bit of water on the top of drivers and passenger front door sills, but not coming into the car. Should there just be none at all?
Also the Butyl tape, I have double sided tape I have used to stick number plates on before which is actually a sealant for double glazed windows which goes around the edge of the windows, its about the same size, would this be ok I should I get the butyl stuff?

On the sills there shouldn't be any. I've found my left side front leaks although we've found the main part that's leaking and sorted that
The only thing I can do about it at the minute is park the car the other way round and when I open the drivers door there's never any water there )famous last words)
Personally I'd get the butyl tape as it'll last longer so for the 10 quid it costs I'd prefer to have more peace of mind lol

Yeah it seemed to sit on the sill then run into the car when I went round the corner or opened the door.
I shall order the tape soon, this one seem ok?

Attempted door leak repair has resulted in no electrics - please help!
Was repairing the door seals using dubsteve's guide one door in and I have run into problems. Whilst doing the front passenger door, the light bulb inside broke - its the bulb inside the below pic - the whole thing pulled off the light and I managed to break the plug, and the connector around it!
Whilst i get a new one, i left the old connection out - fixed the seal, connected everything up bar this and my electronics are no longer working - can't wind any windows up or down and the internal door/roof lights do not work.
Any help would be appreciated, is the missing bulb/connector causing a break in the circuit stopping the internal electrics from working or is it something else... ?
