Letting IN water

Post by SteveH »

Opened the drivers door today { not used it for a couple of days} and ended up with half a gallon of rain water on me feet. Yes its been raining but What the blithering heck! any ideas where it could be coming in from? Has happened before but not as bad as this.

Most likely windscreen seal or window frame corroded.

No sign of corrosion but i'll lift the windscreen rubber and have a little look/poke.

when you're poking, also have a look at the ariel mount, i found water coming in thru the windscreen pillar mounted factory fitted radio ariel, i took it off and stuck an alloy plate over the hole, no more leak! (another mod for the garage!!)
