    just noticed the carpet in my coupe is wet front and back (not as bad at drivers foot well) any ideas? i noticed it last time i cleaned inside of car and thought it was just from having people in it on a very wet day but there still wet. ??

    Possibly blocked drain channels by the boot and bonnet? Just a guess, heard the ones by scuttle panel at the bonnet can get blocked often enough with leaves etc.

    Is there a sweet smell of it? Is it mostly passenger Side? If yes could be heater matrix blocked/leaking
