Title: Cab leaking and I\'m getting wet
Post by: johnf on August 26, 2010, 08:59:41 PM
Had some rain today and it wasn\'t till I went out in the car this evening, when the rain had almost stopped, that I was treated to a minor shower.

I have a leak from the the drivers side door top, right in the corner where the roof joins the top of the windscreen.

It almost seems that the roof has been collecting water like a reservoir all day and now it\'s full.

By the time I\'d driven 2 miles my right sleeve was soaked.

So, is this common. I know they leak a bit, footwells etc but I\'m surprised how much water is coming in from so little rain.

Could it be the roof isn\'t seated properly?

Any other suggestions.

Thanks

John

John,
 
The rubber moulding along the front of the door frame that comes from the collector cup is hollow - it\'s supposed to track water down to the kick board, where it can leak out to the outside.  They get crap in them and need a bit of a blow out sometimes - air line or compressed gas duster should do it. :)
 
Having said that, they so seem to collect a little water just there.
