Title: Water leak fixed and you'll never guess where it was.....
Post by: CJ 16v on 06 April 2005, 02:49
I had a water leak in the car.  Boot was not soaking but deffo water in somewhere.  Rear passenger side floor drenched, just full of water.  No other water sitting in the car.
 :cry:
I checked the lights, the foam seals round the lights, behind the plate, round the boot and door trim and seals, boot and main floor, sunroof etc and still nothing.
 :sad:
Where was it getting in? :angry:

Well, the rear of the car was slightly hit when I got it and I finally noticed a minute crack in the seam sealer below one of the rear lights - the bit vertical and joins the wrap around bit from the back wing to the rectangle bit below the light and lo and behold there was my problem.  A squirt of automotive polyurothane sealant and it was sorted.  I put a good bit inside and rubbed a bit into the outside of the crack. 

Once it had set a bit, a rag and meths took all excess of the outside paintwork and there's only a hairline of black visible and you really have to be looking to see it.

No more water leak! :grin: :grin: :smiley: :grin: :grin:

Just shows you!
