help needed mk4 polo 6n 5 door p reg my 2 near sides doors are leaking water at the bottem of the door. The seals are fin i have changed them both but water keeps coming throw could it be that the door is to much in so water cant come out at the bottem like the door catch is pulling the door in to much or could it be down to the door been bent? will take photos 2 moz in day light

thanks kev

First port of call would be to make sure the door membrane (foam thing behind door card) is intact and sealing and make sure the drains at the bottom of the door are clear.

Here my door seal where the water is

is that not coming in through the door card?

Could be because door drains are blocked.

This is what i did couple days ago.

I used small screw driver under the door drain holes - there is 3 on my drivers door

Try that, and see if it works.

ok i will give that a try 2 moz and see if that works i hope so every time i open that door there all ways water

This is more or less exactly what is happening with mine,and I'm pulling my hair out trying to suss it out,had another go yesterday to try and sort it ,it seems to me that because I park on a hill facing downwards the water runs down past the seals and gets into the door somehow it then by gravity wells up in the area in the photo and runs into car same as yours does.

Drilled some holes at the bottom of the door and it stills runs in,?have you got anywhere with yours yet... I think I am gonna replace the doorseals themselves,although they are expensive brand new I believe

The only way i found out when my car was leaking inside - i took it apart whole interior bottom (seats, carpet, absorbers ect) - My cat was trapped inside in it for atleast 20hours, so he peed a lot.

Driving for while i noticed the water was coming in - and cause was one of the drain plugs - it was missing.

point is - take apart, leave only drivers seat. Have a little drive in wet weather, or have somebody with hose squirtin on your car, so you could see from inside where it is coming from.

Kevs Dub's polo could be only 2 issues - either door seals or door drains, i dont see any other explanation on that leak from his door.

Mine is exactly the same as Kevs dubs mate...going to get some new door seals for it.

Try removing the door card and sitting in it while someone squirts a hose over it. Should show where the water is coming in.

Also, with tour door seals, are they split or brocken? If not then I doubt changing them would solve it.

Is the door membrane behind the door card sealed to the door properly? Is there even a membrane?
