Leaking door membranes are a common problem on cars of this age. They age and perish and let water leak in.
However, on this car they seem to be leaking from where the speakers are, so it's possible that at some point an audio technician has upgrades the speakers and not put the membrane back properly.
With this car it's just as likely to be age, but we do see leaks on newer cars which have had work recently done on the audio system.
Solution: We will replace the door membranes and then either replace or seal those rear stoppers, depending on availability, price and what the customer wants to do.
We have been finding and fixing car water leaks for over 30 years. We offer a complete service from tracing to repair and drying your car.
Question: "Why don't you show the repair of these leaks in your videos?"
Answer: The videos are there as a record of where we find leaks because finding leaks is the hardest part. We are not trying to get famous on YouTube, and we don't ask you to like and subscribe. Creating a DIY repair channel on YouTube isn't what we are about, filming everything we do would just create a whole load more work for us. And besides that, there are the legal implications of showing people how to repair cars.
You had a rain water leak in your car, and you got it fixed. What next? It will dry out on its own right? Maybe you can just vacuum the carpets, and it will dry?

The second set of leaks on this Renault Megan. We like to be thorough, and it would have been easy to stop looking for leaks at these leaky doors, but because it's a Renault we went straight for the bulkhead and found a leak as shown in part 1.
Watch VideoRenault are prone to leak through the bulkhead, this is usually caused by blocked drainage holes in the trough that sits under the windscreen, which then fills up with water and leaks through.

We have seen a lot of these down the years. There is a trough in front of the bulkhead under the 'scuttle' which is the plastic panel just under the windscreen.
Watch VideoOne of the drainage holes on the scuttle area was blocked, leading it to fill up with water. From here it can slop around and go in different directions depending on which direction the car is moving
Watch VideoThis car had blocked sunroof drainage holes, blocked on both sides, which often causes problems as the water can then run down from the roof, but as there doesn't seem to be much water on the passenger side this doesn't seem to be the main culprit.
