Indeed they do, but that's not my problem. As stated, I'm pretty sure where the leak is coming from, was wondering if that area was a common place. The threads you listed seem to indicate the water is coming from the front of the car, I'm certain mine isn't.

EDIT: Also the front is and was dry.

My front felt dry too. The water seemed to travel under the carpet and settle in the rear.

Don't worry, I won't try to help you out any more :thumbsup:

I'm not trying to have a dig at you mate, just getting frustrated with my car! Sorry if it came across like I was.

Theres a techline on how to fix that. Check your ac drain tube seal isn't folded under the tube

Fault found!

My suspicions were pretty spot in. The inner rear door seal has was pooling with water, there's a little square section half way between the door surround, it was moving through there, down into the wiring tubes and then flowing down and pooling under the carpet.

I'll be off to Holden soon to get a new seal, I'll post a picture up later of where the fault is, seems the section of seal has worn over time and allowed the water to leak. Most commonly happens when washing the car, but in rain as well.

Can anyone provide details about the techline to correct these water leaks.
I want to have a crack at a few of them myself, but just need to know where to start.
The car has started leaking again and i will try just about anything to fix it.
