Drenched wet carpets
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
For some reason, Whenever it rains i have wet carpets in the rear of my S type.
Door seals look intact and no major rust holes underneath. No obvious drink spillages etc..
Just wondering where the water can be coming from?
It's a pain in the bottom as it condensates the car up badly whilst driving etcc..
Does anyone have any info or clues? I was told by someone it could be the rain off reservoir from the sunroof but i'm unsure to check this because the sunroof is jammed shut and won't open :/ Bit stuck. Any help is appreciated. It's a 1999 S type Auto V8 281bhp
Cheers.

That would be blockage in the sunroof drain lines. There have been many posts about that problem.
The issue is that rain collects around the sun roof that needs to be drained away. When those drain hoses get blocked the water drains down the "C" pillar and comes out on the floor in the rear.
