Came back to be greeted by 4 footwells full of water in hannas car.
Car was parked on a slight downhill
No windows open or anything obvious
Boot seal is an obvious guess? |

sunroof or bootseal.
I would say sunroof tbh as my chammy is the same, it doesn't have the renault mod on it, which is a bit of mastic! |

I didn't think sunroof as i figured it wouldn't puddle in the back with it facing downhill
Will look at it at the weekend, maybe  |

on my chammy all 4 footwells would fill with water, if 1 tyre went flat the whoel thing woudl flood in heavy rain, I need to sort it in the summer.
but boot seal or rear lights. Is the boot wet at all? water run marks under the carpet? |

mine has sprung a leak...if there has been some rain, there is water running down the passenger A pillar (inside)...seems to emerge just below the top of the windscreen line.
Havent looked any further, but I am guessing its the sunroof....but where does it leak?...the drains are not blocked. |

its comes up by according to dialogies capilary action over the edge between the 2 sheets of steel.
My white chammy had the fix which was mastic along the lip, it never had a problem though.
I mind driving the blue chammy in heavy rain and Amber getting soaked by the water dripping through the headlining! |
