    W124 water in passenger side front footwell

    The labels on the photos are hopefully explanatory. Note we have a right hand drive car here. This is the front passenger footwell. I was able to poke a screwdriver through the right hand damage and the garage has welded a new plate underneath and you can see that in the second photo if you...

    W124 water in passenger side front footwell

    Yes, I have removed the battery and tray and yes it had, understandably, been flooded underneath on the 'shelf'. I did not mention this before. I cleaned and dried it all out on that shelf. Luckily the rust had not taken hold on that area. Now that the drain no longer is free to flood that...

    Thanks for the tip; I don't have one but will consider acquiring one, as I expect it could be useful in other ways, in the house. I am a bit further with the rear carpet.

Yes, the battery shelf is heavily rusted so I shall be having that one out and investigating below it, as that may be...

    W124 water in passenger side front footwell

    Thanks to all for replies. First of all, I forgot to say that the carpets and seats were bone dry, so I assume the sun roof is OK (I do have one). However the floods were hidden underneath them! On the W124, the front passenger carpet has foam filler pieces under the carpet to shape to the...

    W124 water in passenger side front footwell

    Hello, I think this is my first post. I have discovered water collecting in this footwell and it has caused a rust through to the underside. The garage replaced with a metal patch and sealed underneath, but warned me I needed to find the leak They had sealed up a couple of potential places in...
