Water gets in when it rains??

[mattyk]

iv got a 1998 TI 4.5L

every time it rains i get a foot well of water on the passenger side looks come out of the black ducking under the dash but im not sure

is there a seal inside the vents up top from the out side intake vent? just want to get it fixed

cheers

Being a TI have you got a sunroof? Maybe the drain hose is blocked that runs down the A pillar or there may be a hole in it somewhere

[mattyk]

yes sunroof as well, i didn't think there was a drain down the pillar somthing i,ll look closer into

just every time it rains i see it dripping off the black air ways box under passengers dash side,

:)

[Mike02Ti]

Definitely check it out. There is one on each A pillar. If you tip water down them it should come out under the car around the front wheel area and hopefully not inside your car.

Hope your ti is parked inside somewhere if your in Melbourne...

How is your windscreen seal? Check the bottom corners.

[Bloggsy]

A couple of places to check.

1. Grill panel under windscreen (outside) is held on by some scrivets (or whatever they are called). I believe these sometimes these go walkabout especially if the windscreen has been replaced at some point. Make sure they are not missing, especially the end one on the passenger side which seals the hole that sits right above the air ducting intake.
2. Also make sure the A/C drain (on the firewall I think) is not blocked.

I hope this helps.

If it only happens when it rains it is a good chance it is the Scrivets in the Scuttle Panel.
If you reach up and the joiner in the duct is dripping then make that 95% chance
If the Windscreen has been replaced make it 100%

How is your windscreen seal? Check the bottom corners. Even the top part too.

The join of my rubber is at the top corner DS and I get water in the footwell, runs down under the trim of the A pillar onto the floor.

Killed me for weeks trying to find that leak as it was hidden behind the vinyl.

yeah it leaks in the one join in the black ducting under the dash,

the windscreen was replace late last year

If you find a source (or part no.) for new scrivets let us know. When I had the same problem I ended up daubing a bit of windscreen mastic over each scrivet. A bit messy, but several years down the track it’s still keeping out the water, but it would be good to have a full set of scrivets for when the windscreen inevitably needs replacing.

Theres a small plastic plug you should also replace if your replacing those scrivets.
You need 7 scrivets and 4 of those plugs. And i bet you will break the small plastic scew at either end of the panel too. So should get those too just incase....

I'll have to look up your model just incase they are different to the early shape GU's.

[mudski]

Hopefully you can see the part numbers. They are the same throughout the GU series Cuppa

Thanks Mark. Much appreciated.
I have copied them & stored away on my computer for future reference.

I'm getting water in on passenger to. It's coming through one end of the grab handle on the ceiling over the door.
From what's been said I'll investigate the sunroof side of things!:smiley_thumbs_up:

[kashm1r]

does anyone have a pick of the drain tubes from the windscreen into the cowling?
