Anyone know what could cause the passenger side footwell to become wet?
The wet patch seems to be more on the side than the floor and it's becoming very annoying.
Has anyone experienced any problems like this before, and if so, what was the cause.

Thanks
 
Ive have my interior stripped out at the moment because of this.

My rear passenger footwell had a puddle in and when i took the carpet up the front passenger footwell was sodden underneath. turns out that the sunroof seal is letting too much water in for the drainage to cope with so water was flooding over the edge of the drainage channels, onto the roof lining, down the A pillar and into the car. Nice, I've had to take out the seats, carpet and roof lining. Clean and dry it so it doesnt stink the car out. Change the sunroof seal (£12.50 from fiat garage). Now i'm driving round with no carpets or roof lining to check that this has sorted it. also need to replace the rear underlay and front soundproofing as its all knackered.

All good fun and part of the FIAT Experience. Its a good job i have a sense of humour and enjoy working on cars.

It could be, except I don't have a sunroof !
I have an aerial which seems a bit loose on the roof though. Could this cause it? How would the water get from the roof to the footwell? Would the roof lining not be wet?

Thanks

Sorry bout that, i just assume everyone has a sunroof. The arial does tend to leak as it only has a hard plastic seal, Most people just take it off and seal it with some silicone sealant. But i would presume that the roof lining would be wet if it was that.

Have you checked your door/roof/windscrean seals?
