Jan 2011 at 17:46 hi all, today i was putting my new speakers in my car and when i took the old speaker out i found it was wet behind the vapour barrier, is this normal? and if not where would the water be coming from, i haven't used the car in two months and it's been sitting under snow for that time! could this be the problem, any thoughts thanks rich.

Membrane is there to keep the water out, and hence keep the speakers etc dry. There should not be water near the speakers.

Also check the drains in the bottom edge of the door are clear as said.

also in romania Tongue

.. the point is that the inner door gets water inside on all cars. the rubber seal on the windows is not to prevent water from gettning in. make sure the drains are clear and leave it be
