Well I know this is a common problem but it's one that's new to me so I'm needing some guidance and hopefully photos.
This morning after a rainy night I was greeted by a half inch of water in the driver's foot well (remember I have a right hand drive JDM VX). I've had some damp in the foot well on and off but this morning there was standing water. I've removed the driver's seat and pulled the carpet and sodden sound proofing back and mopped the water out and left it to dry. From the amount of mildew on the foot well steel work I guess that it's been a problem for sometime (certainly before I bought the VX 6 months back). It looks like the water has got in behind and then under the thick black plastic 'sheet' at the driver's feet (behind the brake and gas pedals) which is now fragile and breaking away at the bottom edge.
Has anyone get any suggests or experience on this problem that they would kindly share? I've read that it maybe a firewall grommet but where I'm not sure (that's why I need pics)
Many thanks Kirk
