Skoda Felicia Common Problems and Solutions
Wet carpets in front footwells
Problem:
There could be potentially two causes for wet carpets in the front footwells of the Felicia. The water could be coming in through a leaking window seal, or it is most likely to be caused by blocked bulkhead drains. These drains get blocked up with leaves and debris.
Solution:
If it is the bulkhead drains that are blocked you will need to remove the debris to stop the leak. You will also need to let the carpets dry out to stop dampness setting in. If it is the seals you will need to fit replacement ones.
