Door seals, water ingress

Getting in my car this morning, I noticed the condensation on the inside of the windscreen wasn't just usual misting. It was soaking wet and dripping down, so much so it needed mopping up with a towel.

 

After reading around, many have suggested a cause could be a leak, and since we've have a very wet month I did a little inspection. 

 

I have a attached a few photographs fyi, and you can see moisture has got behind the seals and into the car. On all 4 doors. Even the sides of the dashboard. I haven't noticed damp footwells though. 

 

I'm sure this would be causing the excessive condensation but surely there's an issue if all four door seals are letting moisture through?

 

Many thanks

Wouldn't be an issue otherwise!

Hi Jesh110,

 

I'm having a very similar issue although mine drips water under the fuse box area on to the floor, my door seals aren't wet like yours( not really noticed on mine) are but the area against the door is identical and also the speaker grill is sometimes wet. This is only on the driver side door and its doing my head trying to figure out where its coming from.

 

I had the windscreen replaced by Autoglass and thought it was possibly a bad seal on the windscreen but after running a hose on the windscreen area only I can't get it to leak, with my doors seals dry I'm struggling now to identify the source of the leak.

 

Sorry I'm not offering much help with your problem but
