Need someone to fix leak in car
« on: December 06, 2025, 03:04:36 pm »
I’ve a soaking wet drivers floor. Watched countless videos. Had roof lining off and checked all pipes. Had rubber hoses out, cut, cleaned and replaced. Had windscreen wipers off and checked for blockages. Still leaking. Need a local garage to fix. Any recommendations near Portsmouth/Southampton

Maybe a bit more history is needed?

Is this a new to you motor with a pre-existing problem or has it just suddenly started leaking?
If it's just started leaking, can you think of anything that has changed?
Have you tried drying it out, then jet washing it in various places until it leaks?

It may sound daft, but have you had a windscreen replacement? I heard some story about autoglass having a bunch of screens which had the fitting markers in slightly the wrong place which meant they would end up leaking but it's not an obvious place to check.

Is the windscreen genuine or a replacement, as a replacement may possibly not have been fitted correctly.

Sunroof drains gets blocked and overflow into the cabin if you have one.
