Leaky Roof

[Prof]

I am getting some water in at the front corner passenger side.  Roof has no holes - and the seals were renewed not long ago.

Any ideas on where to look ?  :3Confused

Carpet stinks now - might have to drill some drainage holes  :Hammer

I hate to say it but i\'ve yet to see a T2 Vert with a water tight roof.

My Vert leaked the most from the top of the A post, it always used to drip on me from the top of the small window in the door(not sure what there called

It also used to leak at the back edge of the Door window, i found this soaked the carpet behind the seats, but this only leaked when the car was sat for a while.

I found the best solution was to buy a cover from Halfords and put it on when the car was not being used, its a bit of a pain to do but does help.

Also wet vac the carpet and get as much of the water out as poss

Yep - did that - I was amazed at how much and how filthy the water was ! :rolleyes:

I get a little bit coming in when the rain is really hard on the drivers side, but the passenger side leak has just become very bad suddenly.  I can\'t trace it to anything in partcular.  I\'m just concerned, as that\'s where the ECU lives  

The cover idea sounds like a good one.  Cheers.  :cheers

When you replaced your seals did you use a mastic type sealer inside the seal itself?

When i replaced mine i asked for all the seals and clips etc and when i picked this kit up from the dealer they gave me a tube of sealer and when i inquired what it was for they said on some verts the water finds its way under the seal its self and will run down inside it.

Ooh errr - I didn\'t get any mastic - just the tacky glue that came on seals themselves - which looks a little like the black mastic stuff.

Looks like you might be on to something there.  

I will have to see if I can peel it back just a little, and dab a bit of goo in there.

Nice one Mr. G

OK,

Today\'s thunderstorm has let me see where the water is coming from !

It\'s coming out of the little cup shaped bit at the end of the A beam.  Seems that the rubber strip here is hollow, and the water can\'t get out quick enough - in fact, I can\'t actually see where it\'s supposed to come out from.  :3Confused

Has anyone got a picture or description of what the bottom end is supposed to look like - where the plastic kick boards go across the bottom of the door frame ? (I have a theory that I\'ve pinch this off maybe, so the hollow rubber seal fills up and then pi$$es out the top)  :confused:

Need to get this sorted, as I don\'t want a passenger side swimming pool - plus my ECU is not waterproof !
