Thread: Water in cab problem

I got 03 d2a too and sometimes i get a bit of moisture on my front passenger carpet too. I have rubber mats and it's not really big so i dont really worry yet. Could be coming from inside the doors. It only happens to me during cold mornings when i have a lot of condensation on windows. One time i had my disco submerged to the middle of the doors and didn't get any leaks so it's probably coming from the seals on the bottom of the window.

and about the windscreen wiper switch... stalk switches for lights and wipers can sometime become intermittent, i think there's a tutorial somewhere on how to fix it

Whats you rubber seal like at the bottom windscreen finisher? This is the cause of my leaks to the passenger side.

Sounds like your a/c drains are blocked, and your wiper switch is on the way out.

Clean the drains and refurbish, or replace, the switch.

X2 this, also the drain rubbers that sit either side of the consol can crack or split and deteriate, they may need replacing.

Lift the bonnet, and on the drivers side you will see where the window wiper motor is located, then look on the passenger side, this hole is where a left hand drive wiper motor would live, it is blocked by a panel and has a rubber seal. When water builds up in the plenum tray during a down pour and rises to the bottom lip it seeps past the rubber seal.
I had major leaks in both the D1 & D2 from here.
Solution run a bead of sikaflex sealant around . Problem disappeared

Yeah they aren't great- might smear some silicone over these

Any idea what's involved with replacing the switch? And how many $$? Might see if I can get something from TRS. I read somewhere about needing to remove an airbag? Starting to sound a bit specialist...
