Default My fault for thinking i had a good one!! Ideas please.

For some stupid reason I bought another 75, all seemed well but now it has rained 🙄. NS of car is majorly under water, have removed seat's, carpet etc, water is running down ns a post trim and sound deadening behind fuse box is wet. Both NS and is plenum drains are clear, pollen filter is filthy but dry. Drain under pollen filter housing was blocked, now cleared. Is there anything else that can be suggested to seal/ check before I put it all back together. Drivers side is dry.DSC_0125.jpgDSC_0124.jpgDSC_0115.jpgDSC_0116.jpgDSC_0113.jpgDSC_0120.jpgDSC_0118.jpg

My guess would be the windscreen and or the clips, captain tolleys may be your friend here.

Seams Steve... I finally cured the Dorchester’s leaky boot by sealing the seams with Captain Tolleys.

I think it’s an age thing where the seam sealer is becoming porous.

As a quick trial fix run electrical tape onto the outside of the windscreen and the pillar sealing the gap plus along the top edge as well. Did this on one of my tourers and cured the leak.Now comes the job of a permenant repair.
