Wet raer bench, any suggestions?

Post by stevenlizuk »

Hello all,

My recently purchased 406 estate has water pooling under the rear bench.
Anyone had this and found out where the water was coming from?

Cheers

On one of my friends 406's it was the rubber seal around the rear windows in the estate part not rear doors. I think he either took them out his self or went to a local windscreen place just have look under carpetrs and trace where its coming from. Also a tip i was given with a leaking sunroof was to clean the rubber around any seal to glas with dishwashing liquid as it removes grease you would be surprised how much trafic film your car collects. Just an idea :!:

Yes i agree if its a saloon but the light cluster on a 406 estate is different. And he has an estate.
