General Leaking Seicento Sporting

[andersoj]

Water is leaking into drivers footwell.Have pulled carpets back but cannot see where water is coming from.Have ran hose over windscreen , sunroof and vents in front of windscreen but did not leak. Next day came out after period of rain and drivers foowell was saturated.Car sits facing down the way on a sloping drivway.This leaking of water only recently started after a minor rear end collision.Dont know if this a coincidence.Any advice would be appreciated.

well not really a guide
have you checked your coolant levels?if it started after a rear end bump have you lifted the boot carpets? also check aroyund the rear window seals

moved from guides

Sounds daft, but it could just be the rear light clusters. Water can flow in through these and track across the floorpan inside.

Failing that, Seis do sometimes leak from badly masticked seams around the battery tray in the engine bay.

Definetly not coolant levels.Not lifted boot carpets yet but they are dry.Think rear window seals are a good starting point.Cheers

Is it the door seal? i had a prob when it rained hard if I parked with the passenger side on the pavement the water ran down accross the roof to the driver side and past the seal . 3 quid from the scrappy to to sort it

My Cinq had a similar leak, like Pete suggested the water can run the full length of the car, the clusters need to be re-fitted carefully to ensure a water tight seal.
