Re: wet feet
Is it constant when it's raining, or is it only when you press a specific pedal whilst it's raining?
Random anecdote; My mum's Range Rover Classic used to drip water onto people's feet when it was raining, but only when you pressed the clutch pedal.........

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: wet feet
Air vents? Could water be coming down through the foot air vents?

Re: wet feet
i get a leak when its raining, I heard that on the soft top sjs there is a seal that runs between the windscreen and the bulkhead, this can perish and leave you with wet feet, to get at it you have to fold the windscreen down I never got around to doing mine, its only a slight drip anyway.

Re: wet feet
Check the two rubber water drainage thingy's which you can see mounted on the bulkhead (at the rear of the engine) - mine leaked so I removed them and refitted with gasket compound to provide a water tight seal.

Re: wet feet
I used to get wet feet in my hardtop, seemed as if it was coming from underneath the glovebox/ speedos.
Dad suggested taking off the wipers and rubbing grease around the seals where the wiper mounts go into the car. Seems to have worked a treat.

Re: wet feet
have you tried to locate the leak via hose pipe....ie...jet a spot for a few mins then check the footwells....then move to another...work from the bottom up and you should find the bugger! (hopefully )
ITS NOT LEAKING OIL...........SHE'S MARKIN HER TERRITORY!!!!!!!!
