BMW E70 Rear axle Air suspension

Well I think I have found where the water has been coming in, the bottom rear of the drivers door seal is flat the membrane is virtually non existent. I cleared the drains ordered a new membrane but not sure what to do about the door seal just yet.
But now I have discovered that to get to the node points it looks as though the driver seat will have to come out :headbang: Feeling a little out of love with my E70 just at the moment

I have often though about cutting a slit in the outer door seal low down to let the water that collects between the inner and outer out as this is a silly design :headbang: I hope you can just move the seat to the limit of its travel to get near enough unless its under the carpet which no doubt it is :rofl: The door seal is probably fine if there are not cuts in it
Following the wiring back from the ehc to the front of the car hopefully shows up something .
