Wet carpets
Having fixed the leak from the top corner of the windscreen/top of the door frame I thought great..No more front leaks and wet carpet...How wrong was I!

This time is the insulation and the floor thats wet. On closer inspection the water appears to be coming from behind the door panel. So will be removing this and having a look.

From memory there is a plastic sheet behind the panel, what is the correct setup for this? Pictures more than welcome! 1999 Defender TD5 110

the plastic sheet is there so when water does get in it runs down the sheet and not over all the mechanical bits inside the door, peel the sheet off carefully and it want tear, then stick it back on its held with dum dum- like black goo. check the foam seal where the windowscreen fixes on the bulkhead and also pull the door seal off and make sure its all nice and sealed behind there Thumbs Up CSK Automotive

Cheers K90. I take it then, the plastic sheets fits on the inside of the door frame rather than the outside?

When you take the door card off you will see the membrane between the card and frame.

I had the same problem on the Puma and the TD5, water from the bottom of the door card, and both had the same problem. The seal between the window and door (waist seal) was letting water in and it managed to get the wrong side of the membrane and drip from the card.

Puma was done by LR and I purchased new waist seals and fitted them on the TD5.

There is also a gap at the front and rear of the waist seal where it meets the door/frame. Dum Dum fixed that Thumbs Up

Does anybody know where I can get the foam membrane from? I've stripped my rear doors to replace a wiring harness but have had to sacrifice the foam in too many places.

I'd ideally like to replace it. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

2 pics from the inside of a 2003 before I peeled the plastic off to repair the door bottoms. I replaced the plastic with builders plastic sheet from screwfix.
