Minis all wet inside

[Ade1986]

Today my radio wouldnt find a station this morning (pioneer navigation - with sat nav box under passenger seatl). Got home thought id take a look through the slot in the carpet the passenger footwells all wet. So took the seat out water in all three compartments of the floor however its wettest at the front and the back compartments also got my headunits brain wet not good. The MINI does have a sunroof but the headlining doesnt seem wet. Theres moisture on the door seal and a bit of condensation on the b piller but no obvious sign of a leak. Anyone got any ideas on where this might be coming from. The car is a 51 plater so out of warrenty.

I'll check with the guys at our work-shop but we've come across something similar before - don't quote me yet but I THINK, something to do with a bung that had not been put in properley - really vague but I'll get full info tomorrow for you.

Bulk head seals is worth looking at - there's a gormit in the floor near where your feet go where wires goes through. Check there.
Good luck.

Could the windscreen be leaking? I had a similar problem with a damp passenger side footwell, scratched head for a long time, turned out to be the windscreen seal.
