Water Inside Driver's Sill

[KitsonRis]

Found the source of the sloshing noise after heavy rain. The drivers sill was full of water. This is how much I removed

Where is is getting in? And is there a drain point for it as I think it could be blocked. This isn't linked to the blocked wiper scuttle drain issue I had a while back? (Actually still have it but it has improved with my poking around to clear the plugs, will do it again next week, but car is covered now so hopefully wont get wet. )

When I had my Ph1 fill with water back in 2009 , I ripped out the centre rubber drain tube and I haven't ever had a problem since .
With regard to the sill filling with water , I'd say it has to pass through as water will get in anywhere , I'd say the under seal has blocked the drain passage for the water to escape.

Take the front arch liners out and clear all the mud from behind them..

The centre drain tube under the wiper scuttle is that? And Under seal as in that thick paint like stuff you put on chassis and that? And where does it block up?

Ok, I will do this.

I just hope the water in the sills havent caused damage.

I am hoping that now the car is covered it is less prone to getting water everywhere it shouldn't

Yes the centre one by the wiper mechanism. Bin it fella.

Where the front jacking point is , that is where the two skins meet , there should be a small recess for the water to escape , as long as the hole is clear , it will be fine .

Will give this a go next weekend. If there isn't a hole near the jacking point then there will be one by the end of the weekend! lol
