Hilux footwells soaking

jd06

Hi all
I have a 07 hilux . In a wet time the foot well s get wet with water. Its happening in the back footwells rtoo. Obviously its coming up from the road and getting in somewhere.
Has anyone any experience of this

"In a wet time" = it only happens when it rains?
Check door seals around the B-pillar.

Actually check all the door seals.

A fairly generic problem can be water coming in near the firewall due to blocked drain holes around that scuttle panel.
Dunno if Hilux suffer from that

Yes! I had that exact issue in my Saab 93. Blocked drain hole causing water to build up and overflow in through the cabin filter housing to the passenger front and rear foot-wells (passenger side only though). Deffo a good place to start OP, might be a similar issue with your Hilux.

I think my front carpet being soaked through, allowed it to spread the damp under the passenger seat to the back. Is yours carpeted?

It is yes but it's not wet at the very front under the pedals just from there back.

A month later
Stripped out the seats and carpet dried it out went put it back together went through it forencically couldn't find where its getting in. Put it back together a d it's still getting in slowly

The thing I cant understand is that its coming into the 2 front foot wells at the same time which is very strange

I had an issue like this and it was due to blocked outlets below the windscreen. Basically the route that water takes when it rolls off your windscreen, it goes into a channel or hole between the bonnet and the windscreen and then out under the car or somewhere, the issue I had was that gunk and leaves had clogged the route so water found another place to go - into the footwells somehow. I cleaned the whole route and hey presto it stopped getting wet inside !
