Wet Footwell 2002 Mondeo 5 Door - Grahamy
Hi folks,
the rear offside footwell of my mondeo is soaking wet.
I think it must be the door seal.
Is this a common occurance in the mondeo?
Would I have to replace the seal? (If so, any idea of dealer price)
Any help/advice appreciated!

I guess that you havn't done a forum search.

Never mind.

I have had exactly the same problem in my 2003 5dr TDCi.

The door membrane was stuck on all the way around with some black (butyl) sealant. Along the bottom edge I discovered a pinhole in the line of sealant. I sealed the entire bottom length and a little up the sides with lots of B&Q bathroom sealant (the one that smells of vinegar). It has been dry for 7 days and counting...

I found the leak by taking off the inner door cladding/cover (held on with 6 screws) and asking someone to hose the outside of the window. Almost instantly found where it was coming through.
