Yesterday I had to put a box on the passenger floor well (I'm an IT engineer and had to transport 4 monitors....two in the boot, one on the passenger seat and one on the floor).
Anyway, when I took the floor one out, the edge of the box was wet.
I checked the carpet under the floor mat and it was damp. Not soaking, but definitely felt damp. (today I also checked the drivers side...and thats the same!).
Now then, with all the hot weather we've had I would expect it to be bone dry, although Wednesday night it rained a lot, and the other thing that happened yesterday was the passenger door window wouldn't shut (you know, when it goes up then down again on its own). I reset that, but wondered if that indicated the window not quite properly shut.....but thinking about it, if rain leaked in the passenger window, then the drivers footwell wouldn't be affected would it?
So, the other thing I've thought about is the aircon drains? The aircon has been working overdrive recently, so if the drains are blocked, would it come into the cabin?
Any thoughts? I only noticed this yesterday, so dont know if its new or been a while. I havent had any condensation on the inside of the windows even though at times the car has been baking when I've got in.
I've got the original carpet mats that come with the car....do these cause "sweating"? Thats a long shot I know, but I cant have another leaky Z4!!!
