Interior Wetness ....what to check

[bored_Welsh_lad]

thats mental mate... i will be checking that too!!

[Pete Taylor]

That's mental. Just found one leak in my windscreen where there's a hole in the windscreen bonding silicone but i had a quick spy behind the screen scuttle at that area and there's a wee bit of rust there. Guess the scuttle will be coming off for me to investigate further!

I can happily report that despite all the precipitation since my last post its still dryzabone

ive had a problem with my sunroof drains for a while now,

everytime it rains my front footwells get soaked, ive cleared the sunroof drains but when i pour a cup of water into the sunroof i can see the water come out the drain nipples like it should but it also comes into the front footwells

ive bought some new drain tubes but i havnt got round to fitting them yet, i hope its the tubes, any1 think it could be somthing else???


i also havnt been able to locate the rear sunroof drains any1 know were they are its a 1993 mk3 golf

Looks like my pics were hosted on my old Porsche site, i'll upload some tonight for future reference.

Passenger cell floor repairs to corroded rubber bung areas..





and from the underside, prior to underseal....




and finally the culprit - still can't believe this diddy hole in some body sealant caused so many days of bailing out the footwells and drying out carpets !

I'd been H₂O hunting on my Mk3 Valver for a little while and eventually traced it's path back as far as the front passenger toe board, from where the trail disappeared up behind dash. Tried various fixes myself but recently gave in and sent the car for some professional attention. The screen was removed revealing extensive corrosion in the surround and associated damage to the seals. So, much welding, grinding and painting later, plus a new screen... and I still don't know if the problem's cured because the bloody sun's come out! Still, I'm sure the opportunity for testing will arise sooner than not and I'll let you all know the outcome.

Right then, without wishing to jump any guns or indulge in any pre-natal fowl counting, I think I may have a result. Despite sitting out in nigh on 24 hours of biblical precipitation, the inside of my dear old 'Dub still seems dry. Of course I'm still paranoid that something in the scuttle is just filling up and will shortly overflow, putting everyone right back where they started but that's just me being my usual cheery optimistic self!
