The seat cushion on the front passenger seat is wet, but there is no sunroof that can leak??? So how has that seat cushion become so wet? Surely the car would have a very noticeable 'damp' smell if the interior is so wet?

It could be from valeting the car, the carpets may be unconnected and due to blocked drain holes on the front bulkhead/ heater box/ fuse box area.

Alternatively door seals leaking at the top may allow water onto the seat. Just guessing though.

I dont think the o/p mentioned the FRONT seat?

Chances are its water moving about on the floor and ending up under the cushions from the rear seats.

For the front seat to be constantly wet, the water would need to be ankle deep...

Yeah, this is what I was wondering......

Does the car have manual windows? Have you had a passenger that may have knocked the window open slightly with their knee? Or could the door have been left partially shut?

I had wet seats in the back of my Vectra once, turned out a mate had knocked the window winder (the back windows are manual in my car) with his knee.... Now I always check the windows if anyone has been in the back of the car.
