    Disaster, just bloody typical.

    My car is up for sale and today i thought I would vacuum the inside of the car.

    I have just noticed the whole carpet on the passenger side is absolutely soaking through, front and back.

    Where could the water of come through?!

    Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    might want to check the joint on the rear washer pipe, around the btm of the seatbelt if its losing washer fluid . failing that, as above, window seal.

    At the rear, it is underneath the plastic trim panel that you need to remove on the inside of the boot. Before you bother taking that off, if you open the boot and then put the rear washer on do you see water dripping out from behind the plastic trim panel afterwards?

    check to see if your rear washer works first. ie chucks water out. if not as said before it's the water pipe for the washer under the front of the back seats.
