Wet Floor (not drainage block) Fixed!

[simoncpw]

Hi all,

My rear passenger floor was wet mysteriously for a few times during last raining season. And thanks for the advices from Weasel (again!) and X5Meister (again!), the water was leaked from the vapor barriers. So I decided to fixed this now before the raining season kicks in again.

Here we go:
1) Follow the excellent tips from here or here (PDF) to remove the door panels.

2) The dark gray piece is the "SOUND INSULATING" barrier.


3) And this is where the water leak comes from, down to the bottom of the door trim panel and into the rear passenger floor.



4) since the "SOUND INSULATING" barrier is still in pretty good consdition, just the glue became harder and not as sticky. I just used some silicons to re-seal the whole lower 1/2 of the barrier.

I checked by pointing the water hose and spray water directly into the window (from the outside!) and found no water leaking thru the "SOUND INSULATING" barrier any more.

There are still some water coming out from the "plug hole" on the door, but the amount is very little and should not be enough to cause the wet floor again.

Hope this helps and thanks to Xoutpost.com again
