    Default Water Leak Into the interior. Help !

    I'm seriously so tired of opening my VN everytime it rains to find water in the footwell and has moisture in the rear seats. I don't open it often cause it has just been sitting in the backyard waiting to be fixed up and recently I have been starting to fix it up and noticed this problem. I've replaced the door seals today, Will that do anything or where should I be looking?

    i read that often when you find water in the boot, the culprit is the seal in the window ahead of the c pillar. i guess this could also cause the moisture on the rear seat. there's a couple of instructional posts on sealing it up.

    Thanks for that, I have the C pillars off at the moment so i'll give sealing them up a go.
    Also, did you still want that bit of the seat?

    mine was leaking thru the quarter windows.....pull the back seat out, rear parcel tray and side plastic covers, undo the nuts holding in the windows - slide the outer cowling covers off and you will see there will be no seal around them,,,,i just used window black mastic in a tube for the corking gun.

    seal up and let set, then pour water over them to check you havnt missed any spots....

    Yeah any wreckers would sell you a set really. If you're in south east melbourne, try East comm wreckers, they usually have everything.
