soft tops..... rain....

[spareone3]

Just noticed that the passenger (RHD) floor mat is soaking wet. No signs of water down the door card or from window itself. Anyone else had similar issues?

The most common cause is that the membrane behind the door card has been torn or not stuck back fully after a repair. Water flows down the glass into the door then between door card and membrane (instead of remaining inside the door) and drips over the sill onto the carpet.

Door card off and new/repair the membrane would be my start point.

Thanks for the advice, will take a look...

That's what it was by the way.... 8)

Hello: really like this forum. It was on my "bucket list" to have a BMW convertible. Never thought it would happen...turning 70 in Nov and decided to get one! Surprised my kids - that was fun in itself. Told them I'm looking for a T-shirt that say's "Spent my kids inheritance"! Drive every good day this fall with top down; & love to feel the wind thru my hair! Radio playing nice tunes. LOVE this car! It's an '03. Had 36, thou miles on it.
The top looks excellent and hope to keep it that way, so this forum has been VERY helpful! Have *one question*: what and where are "hood drains"? With no choice; "zippy" will be out in all e elements this winter
I've asked family to pull resources - if they can and get me a good BMW cover for birthday .

wow good for you.... loads of threads on where the drain holes are just use the search... oh and wellcome
