Water leak causing rear floorboard carpet padding to get wet & mildew
Can someone refresh my memory as to what the bulletin for this could be? Having trouble finding it.
After a day or two of rain the pad only on the drivers side back floorboard gets we and mildews and stinks up quick. Carpet itself is dry. Water is somehow getting just on the pad. Pic:

I tried the weather strip on the door fix but kept leaking, i then remembered my old BMW 325 had this same issue. It ended up being the moisture barrier behind the door panel was pealing off on the bottom. Took the door panel off and put some heat to it with a hair dryer to make the black adhesive sticky again then put some gorilla tape on the edge of the moisture barrier and the door. No problems since.
Nice first post!

Welcome to the forum.
Oh well, me performing PIC5283 myself didn't fix the problem either. Ugh. After a few days of heavy rain, the stink is back and I know it's in the exact same spot. There was a thread I saw about taking off the door panel and sealing something up, but now I can't find that thread. I am taking it to the dealer this time and letting them fix it. Tired of trying to do it myself when its still under warranty. They can do it this time. I'd probably break off a door panel clip trying it myself.
If anyone happens to know a link to that thread I'd appreciate it. I'll keep searching.

Nevermind, I found the thread. It was on the "other" board.
