if things coulnt get any worse for me, as most people know i posted a topic up about engine mount, now today the bloody car is leaking water in the passenger door pocket but its only a bit of water, cant cant seem to see where its coming from,

another thing ive just got in the car and the drivers door handle seems tight to open as if its stiff, and the same when opening it from inside the car it feels like its getting stuck anybody got any ideals?

Drainage holes afaik are along the bottom of the doors, also check around the speaker housing and the actual door seal itself.

My brother has started getting water in his passenger door pocket. It just appears to be excess condensation.

According to peeps, this is a common fault. I've sorted the leak on my 05 Megane II. I fitted a door skin between the door and the plastic door trim and i silicon'd the gaps on the back of the plastic door trim (especially behind the door pockets) as water was coming in at the corner of the door pocket. I used talc power to find the source of the leak.

Job sorted.
