Leaking Problem

[kurtice]

Everytime there is any considerable amount of rain, i get damp patches appear at the tops of the a-pillars and around the central light console. Any ideas where the water could be getting in from?

ive heard that it could be an aerial related issue, but mines situated at the rear so i doubt that, and ive checked the run-off hoses and theyre not blocked or split at all......i believe its sunroof related but would appreciate opinions.

Thx. I'll take a look at that tomorrow and see if it solves it

Sunroof is a good bet. Replace the seal .. should be a DIY job AFAIK.

Have a search on here, you might find a guide.

Probably something to do after xmas is over though

If it's too taxing, I'm sure Rob and I could manage it here. You're not tooo far from me.

How hard can it be.... :dead:

Generally the seal doesnt even need replacing, just everything taking apart, giving a damn good clean and putting back together.

It's often just moss or whatever in the seal.

sun roof m8 mines does the same thing...... you can take it to renault and get them 2 reseal it for u that coast like 210 i think they quoted me or just go down to bnq and get some clear bath sealent and do it urself lol. most places when they go to reseal it use this black roof sealent and its crap it never drys for some reason so u will just keep getting the same problem.
