Leaky van

Post by Richardspain »

Our van spent its first night outdoors in the rain last night and we woke to find small puddles in the driver and passenger footwells. There seemed to be water dripping from the metal under the dashboard. Are there any common weak points where T25s may leak? Any way to find out where there leak is coming from without taking off the whole dashboard?

Any help would be much appreciated.

You won’t find anything by taking the dash out , it will either be the windscreen rubber not sealing ( normally rotten body around the screen apature meaning the rubber cannot seal ) or the window screen washers not sealing in the front panel

I put some Vaseline around my screen washers and that did the trick.

My van does this and I am pretty sure it actually comes in down the edge of the front door seal. I have traced it using tissue paper. Also I have had a new windscreen and seal recently. There was no sign of any leak path from the windscreen.

I have new door seals to fit. They come in a continuous loop but as they are threaded between the door hinges and door stay, I haven't got around to fitting them yet so I cannot say definitively that they are the cause!
