leaking...

Post by Acca Dacca »

Well it has been raining recently and I have discovered there is a nice little puddle on the passengers side, under the seat and dash. Nothing major but enough to be irritating, having to take out the drain plugs.

So was just wondering if anyone else has had issues of water leaking in.

I think its coming from somewhere in/under the dash. I'd like to somehow seal it if thats possible.

Well lastnight adelaide had alot of rain and my zook had water in the foot wells, drivers side. I thought maybe it came from under dash like my old corolla used to but it isnt.
I found where its coming from, i lifted the rubber floor mats and noticed water had trailed down from the back floor. Its the poxy stitched windows on the soft top, the water comes down the inside of vinyl and manages to work its way onto the floor.
When i get a new softtop it will be one with welded windows.

Acca dacca if you have a softy check the inside of the rear windows and see if it gets wet when it rains next or even washing it.

I completely forgot to search...

I'll go look it up then.

CHOPS: I've got a fibreglass hardtop, one of the windows isn't sealed quite properly but the amount of water thats coming through, wouldn't even be enough to wet your mouth with, I'm just gonna seal that up with black silicone. A tiny amount also comes in through the gap between the rear window and the tailgate and thats also hardly any, can't be bothered trying to fix that, would be more effort than its worth.

edit: alien, different problem. My drain plugs are in fine condition, just saying I have to take them out to let the water drain.

well, I'd say its the dash. Water sometimes drips on the parcel shelf under the dash on the passenger side. Any idea how to figure out where its coming through ?
