water leak...driver side carpet is wet..
 

just started noticing this problem...when it rains, the water comes in the driver side...just under the dash, where the obd plug is....ony the one side
i was reading this could be a problem from the sunroof plug? i originally thought maybe the windshield? i did notice the windshield had been replaced about a year ago....just trying to figure out the lines for the drain maybe they're plug or something....i hope i can find a small fix, rather then having to take the headliner down and more $$$$$
any input would greatly appreciated...

There was a post here that had people check under the hood, directly below the windshield for leaves or debris. Under your door there are some drains that could be clogged as well. Sorry for not answering your question directly though.

not at all!! thats a good start for me...i'm brand new with these x5....my mechanic said he'll put it up on the hoist tomorrow to see under the door...i'll double check under the windshield....

Try this thread. Welcome!!!! I have learned invaluable information on this forum as well.

link dead? Goes straight to main forums page...

I also experience water under the mat passenger side, but I read somewhere in here another having similar experience, I guess "aircon pipe/tube" or something was mentioned. But me it has nothing to do with rains - as this happen(s)ed when there was no rains.

That's not good. O well, I just did a search for 'water leaking' and it was one of the top search results.

Yeah i found a few...heading to shop now to blow the sunroof drains as i noticed today there a few drops of water right where the sunroof button is......

nothing really, pipes get clogged, you'll have to get it cleaned. not a big problem. but if the carpet is wet like my is. make sure you get it dried out.

i wish i had taken some pics!!! the pipe wasn't clogged....but yet they were bent, badly crimped,....i had a feeling cause i noticed the windshield had been replaced...someone didn't put the tube back properly....works amazing now!!! cut the bottom ends just to be safe...blew them out with air...good to go now!!! just gotta dry out the carpet...thanks for all the help, the search was amazing...took the A pilar off to see the problem..
