Hi, I have a water leak in rear of my Bravo, water "appears" under rear, off side passenger seat. Not a lot, but it just appears!! Had panel off from rear of car where seat belt mounts through, piece of blue tissue to show any water ingress and nothing, even tho' it's been cats n dogs some days. Put panel back on and the h2o is back.
Anyone had similar leak at all, very frustrating little leak. :(

Cheers

Panoramic roof?
 
Hi, no panoramic fitted, think maybe rubber roof strips leaking or lifted, allowing water in. Going to try and have a look this w/end.

Cheers
 
Recently I have found that my '07 Bravo has the same issue. Left-hand drive, water collects under back-seat right passenger. Some moisture can also be found on the opposite side.

So far I've tried resealing two screws in the trunk compartment that hold covering (the one which hides spare wheel). You can see ground when you unscrew them and look through their sockets. Unfortunately it didn't help.

I've been thinking that it might be an issue connected with glass rooftop. But your experience would suggest otherwise.

Soo... aerial is the next suspect ;) Any other suggestions are welcomed.

I've seen it plenty of times regarding the Panoramic roof with the drains which run inside the car being blocked and overflowing down under the rear seat.

My girlfriend's was blocked had a little water collected under rear seat

Took bravo to garage fired air down the drain nothing fired air front down behind the rear tyre up the drain whoosh all muck and silt came out ever since sorted
 
When i had this problem with my bravo, i couldn't find the place the water was getting in. so i assumed it was getting in through capillary action between the seal and the metal lip the seal should be snugly fitted to. I took off the seal and packed it with silicone grease in the slot(doesn't harm rubber) then pressed it back on to the metal lip.

3 years later still had not had another leak.
