Day101, you might want to change your “location”, unless you want someone to nick your pride and joy then return it repaired.
PS And a very nice neighbourhood it looks too.

Hi Day 101,
I have the exact same problem !!, initially I thought it was just water in the sill area about a cup full spilling out when I opened the drivers door but now after some further prodding about I have found the drivers side carpet is damp as well, so my first thoughts were to fit a new door seal but now I am looking at the A pillar trim clips or scuttle pannel .
It`s going into the workshop next week for the clips and I will let you know if that stops the leaking.
Regards Dave.

Mine did the same but passenger side, it was the A pillar trim clips/ holes and also the seal at the bottom of the A pillar was not sealing properlyMark

Hi all,
Quick update, so far I have removed the A pillar trim and some broken clips then used some gaffer tape to seal the holes on the pillar while waiting for the new clips etc, so far even though we have had quite a lot of rain the sill and carpet is dry. It looks like the badly fitted and broken plastic clips were the source of the leak.
I`m going to fit a new A trim and clips and will let you know.
Regards Dave.
