Trick to VE wiper arms???!

[Dayvo]

Got both arms off now. Gave the difficult one a good clean and re-installed. On checking the cabin filter area my 'thingy' (no idea what you call it) for allowing water out of the cabin filter chamber had actually come right out and just sitting in the chamber. I've re-installed it and it seems to fit snug enough. Lots of crap in there but clean now (reminder to self - probably need a new cabin/pollen filter).
Fu. i'll have a re-look at that area you mention could be letting water in above the filter.

Do you have a water leak

Do you have a water leak

Yep Dayvo, at least 5. All four door vapour barriers (know about these, finding other leaks first) and investigating possible roof leak via roof seam seal.

I had a leak some years ago and couldn't find it . Turned out to be leaking in from a warp in the top of the pollen filter cover

Yeah, I'm yet to investigate that area too. I reckon so far I'm dealing with at least 7 leaks (just at a guess mind you). Some major and obvious, others minor but painful and not obvious (sneaky little buggers).

I had one there as well after I refitted the HVAC. Got a trim tool in to open it up a bit and used some Sika 227 in behind it. All fixed.

Dayvo, Fu, I'm yet to get to this area. Dayvo, thx for the pic. Fu, so where did you actually apply the Sika 227? Sorry if i'm being thick...

I dried the area thoroughly then put sika in the gap , let it skin over then put a liberal amount over the pollen filter cover and the firewall. Looked a bit crappy but you can't see it once you put the cowl back on .
