I brought my car to the dealer wed just before my 3yr/50,000 mile warrantee ran out for the wet drivers side mat. I have read the posts about the boot and cracked seals and don’t seem to be the problem. The first thing the dealer told me was that if it was my fault due to mods (switches running from the fog lights to inside my car) There would be a $160 charge, I told him that this leak was going on long before I did the mods and to check where it was coming from but he seamed already convinced that there would be a charge (dealers love to blame there own problems on mods).
Well he called me and told me he did a powder test (not to mention that under my dash now is full of powder) and found that the only leak was coming from the small hole in the boot where the wires were going into the car. The boot where the wires are coming from is at the top of the car on the driver’s side in the corner. The only way I can see if water was coming from here is if my car was submerged under water at least 4 feet high cause the wheel well is under the boot and the side of the car is next to it. And the hole is no bigger than 4 wires going into it. Also where the hole goes into the car the mat isn’t wet there. Now I value your input so here are some picks I took and let me know if it is at all possible that this can cause my mat to get soaked.
and as for the floor powder heres how they gave me my car back
I am going out today to silicone that hole and give my car a good hosing down to see if the mat still gets wet, if it does I think the dealer will be surprised to find out I am disputing the $160 charge he gave me.
