Looks pretty much the same as mine. I dont worry too much about to be honest, but i reckon its coming in past the windows on the outside, getting inside the door and coming past the door seals into the car. Its no big deal to be honest, apart from my parcel shelfs now mouldy from the condensation.

My Mates Clubby Seems to Leak Through the Sunroof and down the headlining, shame its such a lovely car.

that will most likely be the front screen seal if it's happened whilst parked

[chappy]

no,

get a mate, mum random stranger to sit in your car while you spray certain parts of your car at a time, untill they see where it comes from..



but from the pics, like what someone else said, looks like its coming through the windscreen seal... and to fix that, just replace the seal.


Hope it helps

thats the only place its leaking through?


erm, it took me... about just under an hour? (in the dark with a flood light)

if you do it, get the later slightly wider seal (as fitted on later minis) from minispares.

and use silicone lubricant spray (made by 3inONE) to get the window back in and the seal strip in with the tool..

people say to use fairy liquid, which as we all know, contains salt that will rust anything in sight of it.


hope this helps too

Make sure if fitted with non original oversills that they are drilled!
