Last week I had to drive during the heavy flooding, due to hospital trips, and so I was driving through flooded roads approximately 30 cm (1 foot) deep in water. No major problems and most other drivers were being sensible in their speed through the water.
When I washed the car at the weekend, I noticed a piece of foam sticking out from the front passenger door, where my finger is pointing in the first picture!
It pushed back easily, but was absolutely sodden. When I put my hand into the gap, as shown in the other pictures, it appears there is some foam (I presume for sound insulation) that gets soaked and I was able to squeeze out quite a bit of water from it. A few days later and it is better, but still damp.
Just thought I'd let other drivers know - obviously only an issue in floods!!
