That is a lot of water :shocked:

If there's water behind your lights it would probably be worth getting new light seals whilst your getting a pollen filter. Also check your boot seal, mine was leaking badly through the boot when I first got it.

Post by: harlemex on 27 January 2012, 13:12: pollen filter made no difference whatsoever to the water leak. The water would have to travel against gravity in order to get in there.

Post by: Sketcha009 on 30 January 2012, 22:35: we removed the bungs from under the car and let it drain, but its still damp due to the weather. We checked and there was water behind the rear lights as well. I need to wait for a nice dry day and spray the car with water with a friend inside so we can look for drips. its not just the puddles but its the whole thing that makes the car an uncomfortable place to be.

windows all ways covered in condensation, so when we get frost the it freezes on the inside of the windows!

pain in the a@@
