Renault Clio water in passenger footwell

This is a known problem to Renault UK as almost all Clio's have leaky sunroofs. There is a quick fix that your Renault dealer can do, give them a call as i think there may be a technical note ref this so it may be free.

I wouldnt bother trying to fix it yourself as its a very involved job.

this could be the sunroof to bodywork seal if you havent checked that 1 and the sunroof drains are if u take the sunroof glass out and then they are the channels that you can see then

Hi i think you will find it more likely to be the sunroof here at Betta Windscreens we fix them all the time. How the water gets too the floor without a trace it falls onto the head lining and runs to the sides where it falls on to the 15mm lip on the door seal which covers the end of the headlining. It then makes its way down this lip and drops under the carpet making it hard to detect, the reason it goes under the seats is this is the lowest part of the floor pan. Next time it rains run your finger behind the lip and you will find water in this area. Hope this is of some help. Rob (bettabob)

My girlfriend has a Clio 1.2 on a 51 plate with a manual sunroof. She has had a leak which pools in the front nearside headlinigs for some months. It has been in to the garage who replaced the rubber seal, however the problem continued. I scoured the internet to try and find a solution. Having read advice similar to 'Bettabob', I removed the entire sunroof, checked the draining tubes which run through the windscreen suports. They were clear. I then replaced the sunroof, with a generous amount of sealant between the metal of the roof itself and the plastic trough, in which the glass screen sits. However it still leaked !!! I then, removing the glass screen again, un screwed the two metal fixtures bolted to the glass that allow it to pivot.Again, having applied a generous amount of silocant sealer, I replaced the glass screen into the trough. It has been in for approx two weeks, during most of which, it has rained, and the car is totally dry !!!!!!!! Sometimes the hardest problems have the easiest solutions.
I am aware how frustrating a problem it is, so, as i'm in Staffordshire, and you'd like a hand in sorting it out,let me know.

Take a look at sunroof repairs.co.uk, they have sorted mine out in the past. I tried temporary fixes but in the long run its best left to the professionals.

I have a swimming pool in the footwell. Is there anywhere near Torquay i can take it to get it looked at? Its driving me mad. The condensation is awful. Damp seats and soaked roof lining, also have to dry the windscreen on the inside plus it stinks of damp :(
