Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

so this needs fixing as I suspect its been like this since before I bought it (gggrrrrrrr)

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Afternoon All, I have noticed a dampness in the drivers side (UK RHD) and decided to investigate but I now need some advice...I have removed the carpet and there is a very slow leak that comes in and has soaked the foam underside. so this needs fixing as I suspect its been like this since before I bought it (gggrrrrrrr) To begin with I took the cowling off and hoovered then washed out behind the battery etc - the drains seem to be behaving fine... There is an area as per pictures (under the VIN) where water pools but does not seem to be seeping away - there is a bulkhead join of solid glue/sealant...maybe that's the slow leak but I wanted some advice before I cover everything in sealant!! See Pics 1 and 2 There is a "box" / "lid" that seems to retain water around the edges - it has three screws to remove it but i have no clue how to get to them unless someone has ideas...? See Pic 3 I poured some water over the windscreen and also in the drains areas and the leak slowly finds its way into the inside of the car, near the fuse box (!) See pics 5 and 5 - it seems to start by the unused screw hole in pic 4 In then took the sticky sound damping off to get a better picture ans as per pic 6 you can see where the water gets too before moving vertically down... Its almost like its tracking a seam or structural beam!! A few ideas - i noticed that next to the drains on both sides there is a circular hole that looks to open in the cavity under the car - should these have rubber grommets? The are about the size of a UK 10pence piece. So, has anyone else had this amount of fun finding this typical leaks?

I have the same issue I’m working on it tomorrow will let you know my findings!

POST 3Original post

Hi both, I am having the same issue with my 2011 Cayman R and wondered if either of you have managed to find the source of the problem and can advise a fix. I did have an issue with slight blockages to a couple of the drains, which I have now cleared but I think water may still be getting in. I had the fusebox cover off and partially lifted the carpet and the foam underlay was very wet. When I took the fusebox cover off there was moisture on the felt around the upper clip, suggesting it was getting in somewhere on the right-hand-side near the fusebox. Any advice welcome before I start removing any more parts. I guess I am going to have to pull the carpet back more to try and dry it out.
