Hi, any advice or direction with this conundrum much appreciated.
In summary: Wife's Corsa 2005 Reg used mainly for the school run drop offs has developed a water leak, if it rains heavily there is an inch of water under the drivers feet, I cut the spongy bit out.
Been to two garages both said known problem with these corsa’s where some rubber seal breaks apart water ends up in the car but not worth fixing due to the cost of the job and age of the car.
The biggest problem is the high humidity in the car an ice sheet forms on the windscreen in the winter it takes a while to scrape off and defrost then still looks fogy.
Could do with getting this car through the winter save up and get something decent in the summer.
Plan of action was to drill a small hole in the floor for the water to drain away (see pic. 1 attached) however underneath the car the floor is not flat there is a bulge in the metal floor covered with aluminum sheet (see pic. 2 attached). Is there a reason why this is aluminum covered and what’s the bulge in the floor?
Just to pre-empt I do know I need a new car, but if that was not an option just yet, should i drill the floor to get rid of the water?
Any advice from an experienced car mechanic is much appreciated.
