View Full Version : I rang up my local swimming pool centre...

...And asked if this was the local swimming pool centre. To which they replied, "Well, it depends where you're calling from..."

Anyway, enough of the Tommy Cooper wise cracks! It would appear my car has turned into swiss cheese over night. The passenger side footwell was sitting under about an inch of water! Grrrrr! This appears to be where the water is coming in from:

A bit wierd I thought. I struggled to track exactly how it was dripping off the electric window thingie, and the only answer I can come up with is that it might be the window seal?

Anyway, I also found 2 other areas where water was coming in from! Although it was nothing near as much as the previous location. Please see pics:

Do you think the last 2 areas are sunroof related? Or possibly the windscreen not fitted correctly?

Any help would be much appreciated and rep'd!

Cheers.

stevenet15 did a little kind of guide basically tubes that go into the car from the sunroof are channels out of the car by going into the car then out, to see them the sun roof has to come out and they will be in the 2 front corners

EDIT here we go mate

Yeah, I can see them. Towards the top left of the 3rd picture, you can see the end of one of them. They seem to be quite dry. I fear this is not going to be an easy one...

take a hose pine to the outside of the car, moving slowly over areas of the roof seeing where leaks, also do the same with the window seal.

seems to be a common problem on saxo's/106's mate. the pipe in the sunroof just needs replacing or fixing. once you've done it just test it with a hose pipe or bucket of water as mentioned above
