coz now is raining season.
the posible problm is the wind screen rubber.
is there any wind noise coming from side of wind screen during high speed?
check oso got 1 hose locate at the fire wall (left bottom) for air-cond.
if the hose missing oso wil let water enter ur carpet.

that day send to the uncle who repair the air cond, he said nothing to do with it...
then i send to the body work shop today, finally found the cos of leaking...
the plastic paper at behind the door trim is not cover properly, due the reason the accesories shop cut a hole when install speaker last year...
but i just cannot understand y last time no problem until now only leak?
n the cos of it is leaking bcos the water leak from the window splash toward the door trim but not just leak downwards... just cant understand...
now the bodywork shop fellar just cover it wif plastic bags... hope the problem could b solve...
is there any better way to avoid those water come in?

well i experienced the same problem before...oni driver side carpet wet after rain. sent to the shop...after checking...its bcoz infront of the windscreen, there is some holes to let the water go down to under the car...but for my case...the holes is block up ...so when rain heavily...the water will soak into my car through the small small wire gaps at the firewall...so end up clean up the thing...make sure the water wont stuck there and put some sealant on the wire hole too...hope this helping...

ermm...
u let it dry 1st... make sure the carpet dry, takes abt few days... make sure u take off the rubber mat which u step on it... then leave ur car under the hot sun...
then u c how..
if really cannot then send to other shop to check.
my shop he check 4 me without taking off the carpet...
just pour water then check whether the door or the windscreen leaking
i dun think underneath the car will leak unless u crash ur car b4
did u check the aircond? which part wet? water leaking really headache la!!

Good day,

Another Volkswagen need to update here. This car is a brand new 1week old ride, owner wash this car by himself with plain water after he got it. During inspection this car have only 15% of swirls and other than that is RIDS that may need wet sanding to remove. We cant expect the car will be in perfect condition once you got the car, even a BMW will have hologram issue once the owner got his car at the showroom.


The Jetta was delivered to me on Friday, weather was bad too...
