I stripped out the front seats and carpet so I could add sound deadening only to discover that I've had water ingress in the passenger footwell for a long time apparently.

Looks like it's coming from three separate places... 1. from the front of the van, probably the scuttle drains bunged up with leaves, 2. a missing rubber bung in the floor pan behind the passenger seat, 3. from the direction of the sliding door into the top right hand corner of the "footwell" behind the passenger seat, assuming this is maybe from a roof rail fixing point.

It's mad because the carpet didn't look or feel wet, no mould, no smell. Only thing I did used to notice was the inside of the windscreen would be foggy/damp in the mornings regardless of the weather outside.

So I've a bit of remedial work to do before I can get on with my sound proofing...

Made some shelving and put new ply down.

Can anyone tell me how to identify what seat bases I have for when I change the seats.

It’s 2018 Highline SWB. Has storage compartment under the seats.



Cheers

Hi UINS, regarding ur seat basses. Im sure it depends whatseats ur going to fit as some seats fit the standard basses without modifying. I fitted audi a5 seats to my standard basses and had to drill holes on the basses and their fine. Dont quote me but i think golf and audi a3 seats fit straight onto caddy basses and maybe some others. Hope this helps.
