Mondeo Leak – passenger side rear footwell?
I’ve got a mk2 P reg Mondeo with damp carpet on the passenger side of my car. its mainly at the back (proper saturated) but also at the front.
After scanning many of the owners club forums and ripping up a bit of carpet i think i’ve tracked it down to coming from the centre pillar (the A frame?). what ideas can you think of as reasons, and how can i best do a bodge DIY fix?
any ideas? the car was only £400 on ebay, so i don’t want to take it to a garage and get charged a quarter of its value to get it fixed.
The “A” pillar is the one next to the windshield and the front window. The “B” pillar is the one that is between the front side window and the rear side window. If it is leaking there, then it sounds like the weatherstripping is not sealing and water is leaking in. If it is leaking underneath the dash, it could be a clogged condensate drain for the AC.
Since you don’t want to take it to a shop, you’ll have to dig into and keep going until you find the problem. You can also use a garden hose and spray water onto the top and sides of the car while you look to see where the water is coming in from.
