Windshield Leak V50 2007

Have you found the leak yet? You may want to remove the driver's side carpet, not as hard as it looks. The panel at the bottom of the door lifts up. Remove the front bolts for the seat, loosen the rear bolts so you can pick up the seat about 3 inches. Pull the carpet down from the center console. Slide the plastic left foot rest down and lift it out. Then remove the carpet and put it somewhere to completely dry.

Put the bolts back in for the seats and tighten all 4. Place a dry mat down for your feet and your car is drivable.

Why all this? So you can see where the water is coming from. You might also want to remove the plastic kick panels, the one under the instrument cluster and the one next to the gas pedal.

To help dry out the foam under the rubber floor covering, use newspaper. A couple of sections, not crumpled up, works quite well.

Look for telltale water lines on the rubber mat. Don't forget to also look at the driver door for seepage there.
