Quote from: PointmanI have just had that problem with the water in the rear hatch, but car is now in the bodyshop and they have pointed out that the window seals are perished.
National Windscreens are popping into the bodyshop tomorrow to measure up for new seals which will go in when the paint is finished. Also getting the windscreen done at he same time.


I would be interested on how much they charge you when its done.
cheers :wave

From memory, the weather seal for the rear Glass from Mazda was about £80.  So for now I have dried up the seal where it was leaking (at the bottom middle where it joins) and filled it with a glue.  Worked fine and no water on the inside of the boot lid.  Very much a temporary fix though.  I have noticed that the seal in my TII on the same place has broken too - so not the best then!

I find my windows demist better if put on fresh air.  I also find hat if you constantly have a misted up car when you go to it every morning then you are most likely getting water in the car from somewhere.

I was told by a mate that turning the aircon on will indeed \'dry\' up the moisture but when the system is used again, say the next day, the moisture is immediately released from the system and fogs you up almost in an instant!

:2eek  Â£80 !!!! I hope it is a lot less than that.

Aircon ?!? - I removed mine.

Well don\'t worry yet - that was the Mazda price from my local dealer which kinda speak\'s for itself!  :chat

Sorry, my aircon is staying put - I have all the creature comforts in the FD esp as its the UK car.  The Westie & the TII will be the opposite!  :Viking

LOL, having just a heater and a roof is luxury enough to me. I spend more time on two wheels than four.
The Lakes + Triumph =  :cool
