These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Went out lunchtime and after a down pour here in wet Leicester, I noticed a few streaks of water that have run down from the bottom of the passemger door speak. After checking the bottom of the carpet around the speaker it was found to soaked [ ] So any ideas on what to check first when I get home from work please ! thanks Mark

POST 2Original post

Mark, I'll leave the diagnostics to this forum's experts but I can give you my recent experience of the possible effects of wet carpets on the passenger side. My C2's central locking unit is sited on the floor under the passenger seat. If the water gets into it it shorts the central locking system. (The large bill for replacing it was tempered only by the remarkable sight of the soft-top putting itself up and down at will, without any human interference.) Regards, Higgy

Richard, I think it's because your wife leaves the roof down in the Novell carpark in all weathers.[ ] Si

POST 4Original post

Mark, I have suffered with this problem on a previous Boxster and on my current 996 Cab. The problem is almost certainly to be the failure of a waterproof membrane situated behind the door panel. It is about £200 to replace (inc labour) but will be covered by warranty. Good luck, Adrian Tillin

POST 5Original post

Definitely door membrane. Instructions on removing the door trim are here - its not too difficult to replace the membrane yourself, probably need a hot glue gun, thats all. Boxster Door trim removal there might be a few extra screws hidden awayh on the 996 door panel.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Black80XSA and all who have suggested the fault Will have a look tomorrow Mark

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well thanks to all. There was a slight split in the membrane which PCT CARS/AUTOBAHN rectified free of charge. Mark
