Yeah I'm sure it is...looks like a crappy design.
Do those trim pieces just pull straight out to come off?

Got in the car today and yep, there was some water in the driver's side floor (didn't check the passenger side). I don't even know where this water is still getting in!
I replaced all those with brand new ones either last year or the year before, can't remember.
In one of the posts above I mentioned I did the water spray test with the cabin pressurized, all along the top of the firewall and along the tops of the doors, and the only place I saw any bubbles was along the door trim seals, which I replaced.
Sorry for bringing this up. I had a 500 Mi drive in heavy rain and i was deaf from the rain noise of the rear tires. What have you done to the front wheels exactly and any idea especially for the rear tires?I've found insulating the drivers and passenger front tub sections (by removing the plastic wheel arches around the wheels and putting the material on the outside of the tubs) made a significant difference in the amount of road noise coming in from the outside. Knocked it down quite a bit in my case. I also did my doors by insulating the back of the plastic door panels themselves so I could keep the doors stock yet still cut knock down outside noise. Somewhat tedious cutting and fitting all of the pieces on the back of the panel but easier doing it on a bench vice dealing with the doors. Like golkhl I did the rest of the cabin including floors and trunk. Pay attention to the wheel well areas since most of road noise originates from there.
The only large area I haven't done is the roof but wondering if that will cut down on noise enough to make it worth it. Anyone done it? Results?
I can say the audible difference in cars I've done vs ones I haven't was significant enough to make it worth the time and expense, for me anyway. I don't have sound meters or other data to prove it however.

I already started with the trunk now, have some alu-butyl and self-sticking 1 cm cotton composite sound absorber stuff.
Thanks!

Is it hard to make it stick? There is some black coating inside.I put dynamat on the inside of the rear wheel arches and it made a huge difference. The inside of my cabin is also covered from the trunk to about halfway under the front seats. I have not done the roof yet. But covering the back half reduced a ton of road and tire noise.
