gingergman Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 do the windows go up into the rubber all the way when the door is closed? if not then the windows need ajusting to sit further up, if there is alot of water in the passingerside then the battery tray is prob rotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest corrie Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 hi im thinkin my seals need changing but cant seem to get any from anywhere any ideas?? thnx jacqui x hi jacqui if its anything like mine it was a pain in the bum especially as i had to keep taking the interior out to dry it all out to save the floor starting to rot. so here is what i done to save buying new seals 1. i took the door panels off and adjusted the bolts that hold the motor to door and the channels aswell and it made it a little better but wanted to go further so took all the bolts out and made the holes a bit larger to make the window go up further and that worked well but the only thing i forgot to do was put new washers on so they would grip the panel and stop them from sliding on the longer holes so after a while they moved a little alowwing a little gap. 2. i changed the seal that goes round the windscreen for a better one with a rain channel in and worked great. but still have a slight gap. 3. after a long while of spending time on it i then had a thought. if i open the door and help the glass up whilst pressing the window button the glass comes further up and creates a perfect seal even in the heaviest of thunder storms. so now i have a constant dry car what ever the weather. the reason the glass wont seal against the roof seals is a possibly a combination of badly adjusted roof and worn rubbers. if you want more info just give me a shout. or if you are up north il sort it out for you.

RScab Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi, you first need 2 confirm where the water is gettin in remove the carpets & sound proofing then dry out the car its much easier to spot the leaks with carpet & sound proofing removed then use a hose on the car (with the roof up) you need 2 rule out the battery tray & the fuse box if the water runs in from the doors/sills it may be the internal door seals if its the roof you should be able 2 spot the water runin down the doors or entering from the rear quarters etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
