    Default Leaking water inside cabin

    I have a problem with water leaking into the car and soaking the passenger front seat. It seems to be coming in from under the front of the headlining. I can see it dripping in and have not a clue how it's getting in. The only way I figure it can get in is past the windscreen seal, but the seal looks to be intact and isn't lifting away from the roof. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help on how to fix this would be great. Thanks python

    the windscreen is urethaned/glued in and if it is leaking it will need to be removed and refitted to stop the leak, the rubber seal is only cosmetic

    I had the same problem with my VS when i bought it, took it in to get the windscreen fixed,but its rare they reckon for it to be that but it can happen.It could also be your heater core( VT) apparently when that goes you can sometimes get water coming in on the passengers side.Just be carefull that water doesnt get into the ECU.....

    Try opening the door and looking at the door seal.
    My vs seal was dusty and you could see where the water was getting in it new seal all good.
    A lot of people close the doors at the top of the door which can made them bend out the techs at work pull the top of the door to put them back into shape they told me DON`T DO IT YOURSELF.
    I close my doors by pushing the door handle.
    Hope that helps.

    got it all sorted. the screen was leaking through the seal. i pulled the window seal of and sealed it using aviation window seal ( thanks ansett ) if its good for a 767 doing 800 kmph, its good for the old vr.
