Sweating Passenger floor...

Hi all,

The front carpet under the passenger side of my 110 is always slightly damp underneath. Not much, like the usual water ingress in Defenders, but enough to make it smell unpleasant. Drivers side is fine.

I've took it all out and looked for leaks etc but only the carpet nearest the seat-box seems to be affected. Can't see any visible gaps etc. I've had it all dry, only to revert to damp in a matter of days with only minimal rainfall.

Anyone else had this??? Cheers,
Superspoons

Yes, but why isn't it happening on the drivers side though

I'll get under there tonight and look for the drain plug anyway.

Thanks all, Cheers,

Has anyone extended the pipe so that it can drain directly underneath the vehicle rather than run down the gearbox?

i put a few sheets of newspaper under the mats, this soaks up any damp. and change it every month or so
