Leaks!

The dehumidfier is working but taken some time, probably had about a litre out in 3 days, almost there i think! Mostly dry now!

Dont know if you have Craig but you really need to get the carpet raised off the floor as all the sponge and sound deading soaks up most of the water!

Yeah lifted the carpet and its frightening... large pool of smelly water and sound deading soaked through!!! Gonna have to have a serious look tomorrow... also pool in the rear footwell!!

nothing is ever easy with these cars... why do we stand for it?

Because they\'re beautiful, noisy and there ain\'t many around. Even though they break your heart on a regular basis.

Hi guys,

Either of you any further forward on this. I seem to have the same problem. Went to vacuum the car today and under the mats was totally sodden. Lifted the carpet up and there was a pool of water. I see what you mean about the sound deadening just being like a sponge.

Cheers

Well i put mine down to having no inner arch liner in place and where the plastic windscreen trim secures to the car via plastic plugs. These plugs have a rubber washer which had persihed on mine, although the car has not been driven it has been semi in the rain half in and half out the garage and is now dry! It took a dehumidifier about a week to pull all the water out the sound deadening! You really need one of those buddy.

Cheers for that. Having spent the day ripping the interior out of mine and searching for leaks I think the windscreen is the most likely candidate but still not certain. I have a week off work next week so i\'ll spend it hunting.

Thanks again
Barry

I jet washed my car the other day and now got a wet passenger footwell. Did you find where you leak was so I could get a head start on where to look?

jetpilot · July 16, 2007, 08:27:03 AM

Sorry buddy, i am still none the wiser but thinking the front left corner of the windscreen somewhere!
