I have had this problem since I got the car and its really annoying and I just wondering if any others have had it and managed to fix it.
When I fold the back seats down i.e. pull up the seat and put the back rest/seat down, under the seat it is always wet and in the winter due to wet weather it is soaking; pools of water. And due to this in the winter the car is always misted up. I have no idea where the water might be coming from and although I have lived with it; only a minor prob; it does pee me off.[V]
Any suggestions?

I had a problem with my xantia of wet carpets and found the water ngress was because of a poorly fitted rear door seal. I removed the seal and refitted it in a different position. Job Done. Another cause may be the sunoof drain hoses may be blocked, they just need a pipe cleaner or wire pushing up the hose and water will flow out.

If its an estate,its proberly the plastic membrain inside the tailgate.Its supposed to stop water getting in around the wiper motor area.You would have to remove the tailgate cover/carpet,then you would see it.Its proberly come away from the sealer,then the water would enter the car,run under the boot carpet & down under back seats.Have had this a couple of times.I removed the cover,cleaned all the old sealer off everything,then restuck it using caravan mastic strip.About 1" wide by 10 ft a roll.Sealed it all up with that,no probs since.
