Not looking its best there mate.

As per your headlining thread really mate. Check your sunroof drainage pipes are clear, and not blocked.


Looking at this picture below, of your inner ns rear arch, looking at the trail of rusty colours water marks, I would say water is getting through from the roads in the wet.

Micky

 

i see what you meen, the arches where done before i bought the car although theyve done a real good job from the outside i would say that the large patch of rust in the centre of the pic was there before they replaced them and they didnt bother cutting it all out, and the same on the otherside, might have a go at treating the rust see how bad it is after that!!

 

Sorry if i havent read your post properly,but is water getting in boith sides or just the ariel side?

If its the other side aswell,one place to check is the petrol filler flap...water gets in where the locking rod comes through if the rubber seal is split.

 

Ive noticed a fair bit of condensation on the inside of my boot lid lately too. I originally just put it down to the cold weather, but maybe id be best to check afew of these seals out!

 

i hadnt though about the seal on that side, have to check that one, im pretty sure its more likely to be the aerial though, as it just sits there, it doesnt hold in place properlly,

ideally id like to remove the hole alltogether, have it filled and sprayed, has anyone had this done to there car and how much might it cost?

alternitavly what can i use as a temporary measure to seal off the hole? thought about a large rubber gromit or maybe the cheapest aerial and replace it! i dont really want to start siliconing the hole as would look horrible

 

My boot is really damp aswell....and condensation on the underside of the boot lid...will check the aerial and filler cap seals also.

 

the sound deadening serves no purpose other than.. erm sound deadening. Lol its to stop rattles n a bit of road noise.

 

thats what i thought it was for, just looks a bit odd one square on each side, you'd think they would cover most of the panel!!
