Well the soggy feet returned with the cold snap that occurred, the car was freezing inside and out with the cold
The car had been sat for a few days parked up though several days of rain. eager to ensure the fix had been sorted, i checked the floor to see what was going on.
To my disappointment the floor was wet again, but there was a clear evidence of what was going on
Very similar to the last, except the water was actually flowing. The car been parked passenger kerb side up encouraged the water run down the door over the current seal – Result been no amount of padding the seal would cure this
Knowing that from google searchs, this is an on going problem for the Citroen C1, its brother the Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo, there was an additional seal that was fitted to the more current models to help combat the numerous leaks occouring around the doors
Rung the local dealership up to enquire about the seal, and was advised the “extra” seal @ £55 would be the answer .
However not willing to fork out such a high value that was proven to cure the fault, i spent my time researching some more. i eventually found that running a universal seal around the door itself to create a new water path had been proven to work on most cases. Ebay provided the goods of a D shaped door seal for under £9, following a video guide made, i copied the process onto the vehicle in question as trying a £9 fix was a better option vs the dealer option.
Here is the end result
So far the car has remained dry and less internal frost when the temperature drops below.
