VZ Executive Wagon 2005
Hi all,

We have recently have had rain in Adelaide woo hoo! But this posed a problem for me when I pulled out my runners and socks form the drivers passenger side foot rest and noticed it was all fairly wet.

I checked for any leaking water bottles but there were none around and all the windows were fully wound up so I'm unsure where this water is coming from, there are no wet patches anywhere else just in the floor pan. I have also briefly checked the underneath the car and all looks in place.

Anyone have any ideas of how this water could be getting in?

Thanks

so was it the seat behind the driver or the front passengers seat? if it was the front check that the a/c drain next to the transmission underneath isnt blocked its yellow in colour i think, hose around the door and see if the is any water on or past seals

I had this in my drivers footwell. It was finally corrected after being in holdens workshop 4 times. It was something to do with water not draining properly out of the the bottom of the door, then over time seeping inside of the car during heavy rain.

I had a similar problem with my VS. Water was dripping down the front passenger kick panel when it rained. I had no idea what was going on until I started pouring a watering can over the windscreen and thats when i noticed the dripping. Had the windscreen resealed and no more leaks... except for now the damn a/c drain being blocked :bang:

Also there are some rubber grommets in the floor. Make sure that they are in properly otherwise when driving through puddles water can be shot up and is wicked in by the carpet!

Are any of the wagons exp police picked up at auction.
I remember checking out several when i went to the auctions and only the police waons had the problem.
The antenna wiring that they add on goes through a hole in the roof track and when its being sold off the hole is only siliconed up. This caused the magority of them to leak because the rain pools up in the recess and seeps in
