Rodeo Leaks

Hi Mattie,
Are you refering to the air cond scenario? If so, did the leak change sides on you? Last night after all the rain we had here in SA, it is now on the drivers side instead of the passenger side.

This screw, is it a mounting screw to the body or is it an interior screw that mounts the heater box to the fan etc?

Hi rodeo99
no this was not to do with the air con but we had that prob as well just had to jam a hole up in the water out let from the air con box from the fire wall. The prob i mentioned to u was a rain issue, the holden dealer in Naracoorte (kingcraig motors) told me how to fix, the workshop manager is not there anymore but u could still try them.

Cheers Mattie

Hi Utemad,
this was my first port of call, i had that same grommit that you could see daylight thru. I sealed that up with silcone some time ago, and last night i got into it and now the water was laying on the drivers side instead. so its got me beat. i think i'll try to get the windscreen rplaced is my next option. if you have any further suggestion please drop me a line.
Cheers,

I have heard of what what mattie suggested but never had that problem myself. I assume a Rodeo has them but in an old Commodore I had once the drains from the vent thing in front of the windscreen where the wiper mechanism lives used to block up. So when it rained the water collected in there like a bucket and when it got over a certain point it flooded into the car. The water only left by either evapoiration or I suppose a little bit could still get out the drains. Put your hose into this area and see what happens.

I get leaves collecting in the gap at the back of the front guards at the bottom where it meets the door. Perhaps this is the exit of the drain?

Thanks Utemad, I will check this out again, i have tried this, however not longer enough for it to fill like a bucket. I'll report if i have any futher luck, Than ks to every1 so far.
Cheers,

Hi Dan, & to all those guys who helpped me,
Dan, i decided to get some hot water, 10lt in a bucket, drilled a few hole in it and let it trickle down different areas of the windsreen, this being hot water, i was hoping i could locate it quicker. Your probably thinking, what an idiot. after doing this i found that it was pooling in the 2 kick panels, and then filling up the underlay beneath the lino then onto the lino. I had to clean out he guard directly behind the mud flaps.

The next thing i did was replace my front windscreen. It turned out that the Top and 2 sides weren't touching the Poly Erythane at all. Only the Botton was sealed. Good thing i did other wise i probably would of gone nuts having checked out every other avenue.

I hole that my adventure help you with your leak as these exercises seem to have fixed mine. Thanks to every1 that has helped me out.
Kind Regards,
