wet footwell

[McPikie]

:cry:

The footwell behind my drivers seat is wet.

Before I rip all the trim out, anyone any ideas where it could be coming from???

sunroof

Hmmmm, it's never leaked before and it doesn't drip in anywhere else.

Will the drain holes be blocked somewhere??

what rubber pipe?! :?

[Justin..]

^^ thats what i thought. when i took my sunroof out it never had a pipe :?

[northy]

yes - there is no rubber pipe or drainage pipes

That im 100% on.

Mat Brown has suggested on another thread that it could be a rear window leaking - are the belts wet ?

so where does the water go when you park it facing uphill ??

[Justin..]

mine just sits around the glass. like a mobile moat around the glass :shock: :lol:

[northy]

it just stays in the frame and floods out.

its the worst design ever

When i reconditioned mine it could leak in the following places

glass to frame seal £70
frame to car seal - most common problem.
Subframe rubber caps (2 fitted at front of subframe - both held in with silicone)

[schakal]

sorry lads ,thought it would be the same design as a renault 19
that sounds really ghey tbh :x

the rubber around the glass is meant to leak a little
you cant get a water tight seal on a sunroof .
the idea is to get the leaking water on the ground with
the help of 4 drain pipes in every corner of the sunroof frame .
thats the way it works on most other renault cars anyway :roll:

[Enid]

May sound silly but I have a similar problem and it turned out that the rear light cluster was full of water as the seal had come away.

It could be you rear washer jet pipe, that came loose ona friends of mine and soaked his rear footwell, have you checked the screen wash tank?

[McPikie]

Bollocks, I'm seriously not in the mood for tearing the sunroof out.

I will strip the trim and sit inside it while my mate jetwashes it.

If it's the sunroof them I am taking the roofskin off and replacing it with a non-sunroof skin
