Have a Vauxhall corsa with dampness in tear right passenger footwell, noticed damp smell a while back but getting worst, now noticed mould on rear right side passenger foot Matt.

Wondered if anyone knew where to start in tracing leak?

Check and clear drain holes by bulkhead, under the bonnet.

Check and clear drain holes in bottom of doors.

Is this a D or a C?

It's the newer shape which I think is the D

Leaks may be in boot, or round tailgate. Water on boot floor runs forward and into rear footwell? Or even from rear-screen washers?

Seen water get in past the rear light cluster seals,

remove the right rear light cluster and check for moisture,

new rubber seal or sillicone will fix.
