Odd water leak!?
« on: 03 November 2010, 20:36 »
Reversed car today and braked quite abruptly - a load of water shot from the head lining seal above the rear passenger door and on to the front seat.

It only happened once and upon investigation didn't appear anything wrong other than the seal (inside the car) to have a slight gap.

Any idea what caused it?

My car has been parked under trees lately and they have been shedding leaves etc, don't know if that helps?

Thanks guys

there is a rubber bung underneath the door hinges, squeeze them, and a lot of grim liquid should come out and.

its an overflow for the rain gutters i think

Squeezed the nipple type thing by the front passenger door hinges - huge amounts of gunk came out followed by a load of water.

Hopefully thats sorted it out.

Is that the only nipple or are there other locations?
