K, I've just taken my door cards out and they had the odd patches of damp, which I just put down to a lot of rain recently, however, the rear drivers side door card was a b***h to get out, trapped my finger and made it bleed , but it was very very damp and had some mold on it! See Pictures....
Quite manky!!
Anyway I was wondering if any knew where my mini is leaking from? She's going into the garage next weel for some work anyway, but I want to ask him to have a look at it, just wondered if you'd know where it was form?
Cheers, Sian

My doors leak with new seals, ive given up finding the cause, they could be leaking through the seals around the rear windows, the rivets holding the rear arches on or a hole near the window rubber.

They look like the rear doorcards, from the shape. Is the floor still good under the bit of card in the little companion boxes by the back seats? Otherwise, look around the window at the rubber seals. Are they opening at the rear?

this is an easy one....
its comming through your rear side windows, and it runs down onto your door cards, then the get all nasty like that! have you got opening rear windows or are they the fixed type that you cant open? i sugest you change the seals how ever, or close the windows when it rains :tongue:

there is also a bit of corrosion along the seam of the lower rear panel and the sill - with a couple of pinholes, so I don't think thats helping.
I'm converting minipixie's car to opening rear windows soon, the non opening rears are leaking a bit too, with new seals it should solve the problems.
