Rear Windscreen washer!!!

Level 10 User Joined: 22 Mar 2005 Posts: 621

Well I think I've finally found the source of my leak (with a little help from a friend)! Mad

My rear washer is loose and it would appear the water may be coming in under it and running down towards the back window! So, what I need to know (before I start ripping the inside of the car to bits, is, is it bolted on under the roof lining? Cheers.

Water is getting in and dripping from just under the plastic trim along the top of the back window.

i know what exactly the problem is Wink

get the rear roof liner out and you will see 2 pipes connecting to 2 metal pipes coming from the sunroof on either side of the roof,they are probably disconnected due to crap design ,you got to put that back together and cable tie them to secure ,job done Smile

righty, no need to rip out the interior, see the plastic panel that goes across the back above the rear seats, just pop that off.

Then you will see a crossmemebr, its in there, its all key hole surgery. You can pop the nozzle out do that then ppull it out, if the hose is still attached and not wet thats not the problem.

They do leak water in under seal. Grease or sealant stops this though

Cheers Chris, it is leaking under the seal, the plan is to take it out and chuck some mastic under it Very Happy

. Thought it might be bolted on same as the aerial.

Why did you ask then?

Well it's fixed and not leaking anymore Laughing

Only slight problem was that two of the plastic inserts to hold the trim on broke Rolling Eyes

... still, minor irritation so ordered the bits today from Ren will get and fit them next wednesday and the interior will be back together and not decorating the parcel shelf Smile
