Water in rear cabin (under bench)
« on: January 10, 2023, 11:27:31 AM »
I had already mentioned my problems with water inside the cabin in another thread, now something new (from rear).

Last year I removed the rear side panel and extended the drainage hose, directly into the rocker and then out (blue hose pic 5-6-7).

I had hoped that water would no longer enter the cabin. But that didn't work.

Yesterday I took out the rear bench seat (it had rained at night) and there was water under the rear bench (pic 1), the water ran sideways (under the side trim pic 2-3-4) into the rear footwell.

Do you have any ideas what to seal? The gaskets at the hood flap looks goods and soft. I have a lot of pictures more to share, maybe someone is interested to see .....
