    Yep, front door seals (well, having said that, I only have front doors), I find they tend to leak around the bottom rear of the door in heavy rain, from my experience.

    I told you! I had the same thing mate so im going hard core, had enough im getting some super sealent **** from the states, also you know the clips that you screw the door card onto?, they leak at the bottom thus allowing heaps of water in, its a small hole but man it crazy

    The last Mk 2 i had used to puddle in the rear passenger foot well. I found it to be (and its quite common) the membrane behind the door driver door card, the water used to run down into the window slot, then come out of the bottom of the door card, then get under the carpet because the membrane was rotten and had holes in it.
    It happpens to Corrado's as well.

    You could just make a hole in the floor to let the water back out

    Mk2 seals are expensive and a hole in the floor is free. I thought that would appeal to you boys in the Oaks ghetto

    Besides if water comes up throught the hole in the wet, it`ll drain back out when you stop.

    What about doing the floor drilling, but adding a small one way valve to the hole??
