So the rain arrived yesterday and apart from the fact I would now have to blow the dust off the lawn mower I was very happy about it.
Well, I was happy until I noticed the windows inside of my car had all misted up. I knew straight away this would be because water had gotten into it and once the rain stopped I went out to check the car.
No wet areas around the seats or any other floor area that was obvious. No water visible on the inside of the windows either. I then rubbed my hands down the door cards and sure enough the bottom of the carpet on the door card was soaking and I mean proper soaked! I was literally squeezing the water out of both driver side and passenger sides The passenger side appears to be holding more water than the driver's side.
I checked and removed the drain plugs at the bottom of the doors and no water came out and they appeared to be dry.
I have done a little research and I have come to the conclusion that the likely issue is the membrane on the inside of the doors has perished. Is this correct? Is it best to do a proper and not inexpensive membrane replacement or are there any hacks worth investigating. (2010 C4S) Should I be over concerned about damage between now and the time I can get it repaired?
Thank you in advance.
