Passenger water leak
« on: 05 February 2012, 22:11 »
Ok so this has been covered milions of times. However I have sealed windscreen and removed heater mesh and sealed under that with silicon, there is water getting in and collecting in the foam seal around the heater motor. I cant see how it is getting in, could it be getting under the spare wiper grommet as i removed that recently to sort some rust? i am confused! thanks mk2 golf of course!
i must buy a new car!

Is the rain tray in place. If not water will run through the heater motor

Is it getting in around the windscreen or failing that has your matrix gone pop??

It could be coming from lots of places -  process of illumination I'm afraid...

On my old '88 White one we found we had a leak from the rear light's and it found it's way to the passenger footwell so don't just look for the obvious ones... Sunroof drain holes are also a problem item...

cheers thats not what i wanted to hear, i think after all that its coming where i sealed it with silicon under the mesh not sure how maybe i broke the seal when i removed the mesh and its getting between there as i felt a drop from inside the car putting my hands up to the mesh, thanks again guys, only pet hate with mk 2s everyone i have had has leaked everywhere till i sorted them out!

Oh how the hell can it get from the rear lights to passenger footwell that is bizarre!
