Stadawim Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 So i just got done looking around at past issues about this, and most seem to stem from the moonroof. Of course; moonroofs are notorious for this. BUT! Mine doesn't have a moonroof. Yet i apparently still have a slight leak. So i wanted to launch this one to ask - anyone know or heard of where this comes from? It's moist enough inside to keep the rear window fogged after a rain, and affect the windshield for bit. The carpet at the drivers' feet is the moistest (is that a word?), but still feels a little moist at the passenger feet too. The rear feets seem fine, and no wetness can be felt along headliner seams or anything. I'm going to investigate to see if any doors feel wetter than they should. But is there somewhere i should be looking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangster Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Have you driven it in rain recently? I would be looking at the firewall, where the steering shaft comes through, that sort of thing. It doesn't smell sweet inside and easily fog even when it shouldn't (indicating a coolant leak)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadawim Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 No, it actually has not driven in rain since we've owned it (hasn't been that long, still got paper plates). So it's gotten wet sitting still. And does not smell sweet enough to be coolant (nor taste! - don't ask). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangster Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Seems like you have other water intrusion issues (adding to thread about plate lights), this wasn't a flood car? You might need to dry the interior out and see if it moisture comes back. If it hasn't been driven in the rain, it isn't coolant, then it has always been there, perhaps from being flooded, or from someplace else prior to you buying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadawim Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Nah, no flood. It does seem to leak somewhere, because it dries out when it's sunny and gets worse when rainy. When we got it it was dry. The bottom of the door sills have moisture on them... even now. Can there be seepage into the floor from there? That prolly means either the door seals are bad or the door/window plastic is separating i would suppose. Man... sure would be nice to have car with no leaks for a change. Of the 13 cars i've owned/own, this would be number 6 that has it somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadawim Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 On an aside - i have found possibly the in-channel vent visors were the culprits as not only were a couple broken but installed wrong and pulled the seal in important areas. This is most likely a stretch, but i'm hopeful. I'm installing new ones anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
