Can anyone help me please?!? I have a 02 Rav 4 and it has developed a leak in the Drivers side - with any rain the floor gets soaking. It doesn't seem to be coming in anywhere except down near the floor. It is driving me mad - I've been trying to find where the leak is getting in, but to no avail! Any idea or Has anyone had the same problem? Please Help!!!!
Could it be a rubber gromet underneath the carpet, it may have perished or fallen out and when you're driving the wheels are constanly throwing water up into the hole.
No, I'm afraid not. A puddle of water develops when it is sitting in the drive in the rain - without driving it at all. I'd love to hear from someone who had the same problem and solved it! Thanks for the suggestion though!
Could be a leak in the windscreen seal. Dry it out, place newspapers under the carpet, then run a hose on the windscreen for a while. See if the water gets in. Or it could be a door-seal. Try joining a toyota owners website. I'm currently trying to track down a leak in the boot of my car, so I feel your pain
Thanks 3Dolls, I will try your suggestion... At the moment I have a big sheet of plastic over the windscreen to see if it stops the leak, I'll let you know if it does. If I could even figure out where its coming from it would be a start! Yip, it's painful - I'm gona have to invest in a pair of wellies if I can't find the cause!
I once saw a similar leak in a Golf. The drains in the engine bay under the windscreen had blocked up and the rainwater built up into a little pool which then flowed back into the car and ended up on the drivers floor.
Best to check out all drains are free and clear of leaves etc.
Can I check if the drains have blocked myself and how do I check it? Or would I have to take it to a garage to get it checked? I'm trying to locate where the leak is getting by covering over parts of it - I had a huge sheet of plastic over the windscreen and top of the bonnet lastnight, but again today there is a pool of water!
i found this thread while searching the same problem on the net. My RAV4 has developed the same problem. Did you find out what it was. I need to get mine repaired as the amount of water i am getting in the footwell is horrific.
Would appreciate it if you found out anything more in the end
