Pool of water in wheel arch

MagentaWS · 2025-05-05 15:34:13

So, I finally took the ply and insulation off the second side to refit it and discovered a pool of water in front of the wheel arch. No rust, just a bunch of snail poo, and an old shell. Annoyingly there were a couple of dribble trails that I wiped off before I discovered this, so I have a vague idea of where it's come from but not an exact location.

Are the door sliders runs known to leak? Because that's where it seems to have stemmed from.

I'm still yet to identify mine, but I know it comes from higher up than the door runners. My suspicions would be aimed at the gutters, the back door seal and as I've recently discovered, the seam along the top of the side panel

Can you see evidence of rainwater flowing down the inside of the walls?

No, the evidence only showed up from the door runner downwards..

It's not rained since I discovered the puddle (yesterday!) though perhaps a hosepipe will help things along.

I'm considering attacking the seam where the roof rack attaches with silicone sealant to cover that particular base. I'll add the top of the side panel to the list!!

So, I poked tissue in various places to see which bits got wet and discovered the sliding rails were the main culprit.

Took the door sliders off and found a crack in the seals, so have removed and replaced with CT1. I know there's still a bit coming in at the top, but this feels like a good start
