Got in the 106 a couple days ago after it had rained and had a wet drivers side carpet in the front and the rear.

I know the seals are shite on all Pugs and searched on here for how to sort it (watched Thugs "Milking the Seal" vid ) but my car doesn't have the little holes in it anyway, so no use. Seals look in good nick and untouched.

Also found on the search that it could be where shit has built up in the little scuttle panel underneath the drivers side of the windscreen and wipers. This was caked in shit so I cleaned it yesterday. However, rained again last night and it's still the same.

Where the f*ck is it coming from?!?!?!

It's just the floor area on the drivers half, nowhere else and it seems it's found a little way of getting out the bottom of the car to drain itself too which is worrying hopefully it's just through a screw though or something.

I don't have any heater problems so don't think it's the matrix.

It moves from front to back depending on what angle I'm parked or driving on

Suggestions?

Found this for 106's on Google which was helpful.

I've just checked the engine and grommets and all and got the hose with water, nothing seemed to be coming through after 5 mins.

Checked the aerial, sunroof and windscreen with the hosepipe for 5 mins, nothing.

Then left it on the roof, draining over the drivers side of the car the carpet seemed to be getting wet in rear footwell. Reckon there could be something up behind the seals and plastic trim. Seals again look ok and do actually have the little drain holes like the 306, except they're on the undersides of the seal so should drain out anyway. Tried "milking" them and nothing was coming out so don't seem blocked.

Do I now rip out the plastic trim and pulls the seals back or am I going to make it worse?

Where did you slice it? On the outer part on the bend of the door maybe? Or on the vertical part?

Does seem on the 106 like the holes are in the right places for drainage anyway, facing downwards, whereas the 306 face upwards

May give it a go though, just don't want to make it worse.

Have just stripped the rear carpet back a bit and look at what I've found ...



Going to take all that shit out as it's harbouring the water and it's all mushy anyway and smelly.

Orange cable attached to the underside of the drivers seat, can I unplug that or is it likely to set an airbag off in my face?

Going to do another test after with the hosepipe and see if I can see how it's getting underneath the plastics.

Found the problems I think having done a few searches on Google too, this...





The drainage pipe on the sunroof under the headlining must be blocked, so water is collecting in the corner of the sunroof above the drivers seat and not draining away as it should (down behind the drivers arch). The headlining was pretty wet too which I hadn't noticed before but must be why it's coming down the pillar on the door and out the bottom, into the footwell.

So, am off to buy some sealant and a can of compressed air.

Going to remove the sunroof, seal her up good and proper and then blast the shit out the drainage pipe hopefully

Hope this works

Blasted the pipe with the bike pump and nothing seemed to come out

Tried to put some sealant on the bit you can see on the pic but it is very crumbly and soft have left it now though with a few large dollops and will leave it to air in the garage overnight. Unsure if it'll be a longtime fix if it sticks but worth a bash. Didn't take the sunroof totally off as I couldn't see how TBH

May have another bash before work tomorrow.
