Water leak

    Hey guys,

    I have a small water leak and I narrowed the source down to the marked holes.
    Especially the top one. The lower holes contain less water (checked with the tip of tissue).

    How can water get there?

    got a sunroof? It could be the screen leaking or the sunroof drain pipes have perished.
    Water leaks are fucking pain

    No sunroof. Screen seems tight.

    What would happen if I seal those holes? Can the water still flow elsewhere? I have no idea what's behind there.

    I'm wondering, can I (partially) remove the outside rubber around the windscreen to get a better look or is it sealed in together with the glass?

    To answer myself: yes, it's possible. And look what I found. After closer inspection tonight I could see that the water was actually coming from somewhere else (see new pic). And the outside entry is right above it where the windscreen sealing and the roof rail thingy meet. See second pic. Was a bit rusty there and something like a small crack. I sealed it now and I gonna report if I have any water problems in the next days. Hope this helps someone else with leaking problems

    Okay guys, just to let you know. We had pretty good rain tonight and everything is still dry inside So it worked. I removed the rust, put new paint on it and after that was dry, a nice layer of silicone free car sealing stuff.
