Water in both footwells?

[10TES]

Has anyone else had the experience of both footwells becoming soaking wet if quite simply leave an Emira outdoors for a few days when it has rained heavily?

Still being investigated by the factory after a month?

Dealer service person stated they had not experienced any other Emira having this issue.

Does anyone know if there is a permanent factory fix giving a long term solution?

Not at all. In Brisbane AU and had stupid heavy rain. At least driven in it a fair amount and no dampness.

I've never had that happen even with heavy rain. Sorry you're experiencing that. Probably poor sealing around the door areas.

I’m in the UK, so plenty of rain experience! My car is left outside and a daily, so driven in the rain and sits in the rain. Both footwells completely dry.

In the UK too and have the car parked outside too. My footwells are also completely dry.

Only thing I've had a bit like this was a couple of times I found both windows partly down in the morning after rain - caused by me having the remote in my pocket and accidently holding down the button to remotely open the windows half-way. This was fixed by getting the Banc key fob cover and that has stopped the button being accidently pressed. In this case the doors were wet but not the footwells.

Are the footwells the only part of the interior that is getting wet? Any sign of where the water is getting in?

I had an Evora GT and occasionally had dampness in the passenger side footwell. The dealer said it was due to a cheater seal that was not sitting properly

Hmm...i had same thing. Thought it was door seals but turned out to be leak through bulkhead where it wasnt sealed from factory. Only showed up after very heavy rain as it pooled in bulkhead then spilled over into footwell. A known but not common issue. Involved complete stripdown dash out etc but all fixed by excellent guys at Lotus Bristol.
