Bulkhead water leak

Post by Nice Dude »

Hi can anyone advise? I pulled the windscreen out and replaced the seal with genuine factory one as i had the usual leak in front floor wells, the frame was in good nick so I treated it while there and refitted & sealed screen. While I had the dash out to get powder coated Matt black I noticed condensation runs down the screen and onto the channel under the screen. On both sides of the channel is a drain hole, this doesn't appear to drain anywhere other than into the door pillar which fills up and then over spills into the foot well. I'm 99.9% sure the screen is water tight and its not that, have satin the van with hose on the screen are for ages and don't see it coming through screen. So my question is before I adapt /make one....is there supposed to be a drain tube or similar to drain off the excess water???

Sure someone has come across this???

Cheers

I cannot answer the question, but will watch this thread for replies. Interesting point.

No he means the "A" post is open at the bottom!

Check your window washer jets are not letting water in around them , the seal is often iffy

The 'A' post (also known as the door pillar!) is open at the bottom.

Ah, beaten to it!

Arrh ok sorry misread, the water gathers in a small pool around the drain holes either side of the bulkhead, was concerned as to where it drains off to, at the moment in the footwell!!!
