water in footwell

just been out to clear all the snow off the 90 and make sure shes still runing.
went to get in and the drivers side foot well mat was full of water, and more was still dripping in.
im guessing its from the foot of snow al over it.
it also does it a little when it rains.
is there any cure for this?

a mat ? - how posh are you

Most likely it would be the vent seals these are really easy to replace.

I had a serious leak on my 110. eventually I cut out the seal (sponge) at the top of the door frame/roof/windscreen then went mad with silicone and it stopped

I traced the leak in my 90 to the seal between the windscreen frame and the bulkhead. The thing is made of sponge foam and was loose at each end. I've given it to the dealer to fix as I've just bought the car. However I think it can be fixed with silicone rubber lubricant which you can soak into the foam. But it needs bonding back to the frame and the bulkhead first with some kind of external sticky stuff - Evostick original?

They also leak around the door seals so you need to put the silicone rubber lubricant on those too.

Also there is a bung in the passenger side bulkhead that plugs up the hole for a LH steering column. If you like splashing through puddles check that one.

Rubber mats and open the door to let the water out. Works like a charm for me.

if you dont get water in the footwells when it rains,you can take it back to landrover and they will rectify it so you do get water in when it rains..

serious fault is that.. dry footwells. get it seen to if one of them aint wet

yes leaks in mine even i replaced the seals for window and door frames and I even silconed the window framed etc and when it is completely dry I ran hosepipe on the roof and see where it leaks from and nothing!!!! bone dry so thought maybe from wet road so again when dry driven water puddles etc and still bone dry and yet with light rain and it leaks into the driver side strange!!! but might u mine is k reg disco. so it os common for wet footwell.!!!

All landies come with wet footwells from new.
Don't they ???????
