Thread: holy crap "what the"!!!

I don't know about the leak but as for drying your carpets the best thing to do to dry them, apart from pulling them out, is to lift them up and put something in there while they are drying. It lets the air circulate. Otherwise as you found out they will never dry . They will rust out your floors though.

It may not be the screen.

Look at my posts here: Getting Wet!

yhea i was doing that but this time there was no way the underlay was going to dry in a blue fit!!, it was soaked through there must a leek somewhere els but i just can't find it, trucking ting

I took the carpets out of my daughters and hit them with the high pressure water cleaner. Boy, that shifted the red pindam from the Kimberley! They look good now.

Here underlay at the rear seat footwell was so wet it had gone mouldy and made the carpet black from mould, too. I hosed off the underlay and carpets after treating them with bleach.

I bet you have a non genuine windscreen.
The aftermarket ones are a slightly different shape and dont seal correctly unless the instaler knows.They need plenty more sealing goop than a normal vehicle to seal them correctly.

yhea probably !!, it was replaced before i brought the truck as part of the sale !!.
is there a certain goop, as you call it that, needed or do i just use siloflex ?, and would the siloflex hold down the rubber seal as in the pic??


cheers

Hi , with the recent rain I finally got sick of drying out the front footwells in my 93 disco.
I was getting water dripping into the footwells from the ventilation system. Early D1s have the air inlet in the centre of the plenum chamber so the water ends up in both footwells, whereas later D1s have the inlet on the left side so only the passenger's feet get wet. To fix the problem I removed the plennum cover, installed a baffle above the inlet (a piece of aluminium attached to the wiper mount bolt) I also cleaned off the old sealant between the windscreen rubber and plennum cover and resealed this join with a generous ammount of windscreen sealant. (the type that does not set hard) So far so good - no more leaks.
Regards
