More mysterious leaks!
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2004 11:48 am
The drivers foot well keeps filling up with water!
Originally the car had some leaks on the corners of the front screen which I have fixed & some leaks down the door posts (both sides, it's a 2 door saloon).
I have checked just after rain & the sill was wet but it wasn't running from anywhere... Then I checked the bottom of the door card, soaking & if squeezed more water appears.
My theory is that the water is getting into the door on the outside & coming out via the bottom of the door card on the inside before running over the top of the bottom door seal (which is also wet along it's length) & running into the floor pan.
Anyone experience this before?
Anyone have any idea of the path of water inside the door?
Presumably a new window seal/wiper will cure it which makes sense as this one is very ropey!??
Any comments / ideas appreciated.
P.S.

Just need the space back in my under stairs cupboard! No use to me anyway! The front is pretty ropey apart from the frame, backs ok, just a couple of nicks & a good clean needed!
Goes without saying that I would make more effort to hook up with someone off of here!
Cheers,
Dan
