Water leak

[JPTipper]

Hi guys, dont usually post in the emergency section but....

After a night of constant rain and wind last night, i came out this morning to a wet patch on my drivers seat and the roof lining was wet around the top of the A pillar.

Door seal was dry so am thinking it could have gone behind it or theres a gap in the seal of the windscreen i did have a new windscreen put in a couple of weeks ago.

Car was on a steep camber leaning to the passenger side so i cant imagine it was the aerial mount...

Any ideas?

Windscreen not fitted properly if you have never had a problem before with leaks

Yeah the windscreen thing did occur to me as i was typing the post out!

best bet to put a hose over it and see where it enters inside you reckon?

Yep, reckon so. Lay a load of kitchen paper inside the car first and keep checking it so you know as soon as it leaks where it has come from.

If it's the windscreen, slap some cling film over it meantime and get the people who fitted it to fix it. If it's the door, then as an emergency fix slap a load of Vaseline (which is easy to remove later) on it until you can do a proper fix.
