water leak

[skymera]

Few weeks ago I used bathroom sealant under my scuttle panel when I noticed the carpet was wet.

After the heavy rain today I noticed my passenger foot well is soaked especially in one place.

Is there a chance water is still leaking from scuttle panel or somewhere else?

Is it worth lifting the carpet and removing the glove box to see if behind is wet?

Trying to upload a pic but signal at work is awful

Try the green windscreen clip mate, take it off and seal up the hole it clipped into, it worked for me

I had same problem. It stopped in summer when windscreen was replaced and "glass company" -guy put a new rubber gasket to plastic cover underneath the windsreen. Water came down from somewhere behind the glovebox (LHD).

clip you passenger needs for reacting wrong to your impecable driving,,blame the other marks on choco ?

 

[MarkTracey]

Sorry mate dont have any pics on mine there was a green clip at the passenger side just under the windscreen on the outside under the scuttle panel, i accidently broke it off and sealed up the hole with silicon. i can try and get a pic for you tomorrow if you still cant find it

If not then check on passenger door seals

Thanks for replies. I'll get scuttle panel off tomorrow and reseal everything.

I'll also have a go at tracing the leak back behind the dash.

To the rescue as usual

I'll check when I get home as I already know there's going to be hundreds of pics which isn't good for my data allowance ;-)

Thanks everyone!

Aha!

I sealed everything I could see except that green clip!
I'll peel it away tomorrow and stuff it full of sealant.

The floor is pretty sodden, not quite a puddle but very concerned about ECU as the rain was very heavy today and I didn't even drive the thing!

You might want to check the drain holes in the sills aren't clogged.

My footwells were filling up because of my sunroof drain pipes. My actual sills were holding water and overflowing into the footwells, relocating the pipes was an immediate fix and it annoys me nissan designed them this way

"Winscreen man" put here rubber gasket, it sits tight between scuttle panel/windscreen, been dry ever since.

 

[skymera]

Well tackled what I could today.

Tried tracing the leak back, just above the footwell has drips

And up towards the dash there was a rusted bolt with a water drip from it!
I'm unsure what lies behind all this, I assume it's coming from where everyone says.

Dried what I could and sealed off the clip and 2 drainage things. Sadly the clip broke since my precision removing tool (hammer and a screwdriver) wasn't too good at it.

Hoping that's solved the problems, I guess it'll take a week for carpet to dry with foot heater on.

you putting any sealant in the actual clip hole ? would be worth it just to make sure theyz plugg'd

Yup, put a ton of it in then splodged a load on top.

Hope the clip wasn't important but looks as if itself was just a plug.

 

[SirChris]

yeah in the clip holes!

 

[skymera]

yeah in the clip holes!

Looking at Paul's guide he doesn't actually put any IN the clip holes, just around like I have.

[SirChris]

Yeah he dont but it does help to seal all water entrance possibilities.. under there is the air intake.. its not worth leaving it tbh. that is how your heater card and what not gets shagged!

 

[r-reg-sr]

hole is a whole come on lads plug it you equip'd with the poking tool no ?

i didn't just lazily squirt it round the outside. i carefully removed the plastic clips, clean with carb cleaner, apply bead of PU sealant on the mating surfaces around the hole then reinsert the clips. what you see is just the excess being squeezed out

 

[r-reg-sr]

haha skymera had it of and missed the hole jizz of it

I have water leaking also from the same place under the dash, sealant jobbies in the weekend then
