Water leaking inside a 100 series LC

I second that a common problem easily fixed now you know the source.

Its not actually the weather strips but the bolt holes through the roof for the roof rack mounts that the strips cover. These bolts need to be sealed with either sealant on the thread and/or sealing washers under the head of the bolt.

Mine did the same as Nick has suggested and the water appeared on the passenger side floor after have run through the roof lining. None of the bolts appeared to have been properly sealed. Try as Nick has suggested before looking for other things.

That's where my water is appearing I was checking out the roof rack bolt holes today and they did seem odd, I am thinking you guys are onto it. I will get into fixing those. The car get a really bad stink up so I hope I fix it

Just undo the bolts one by one ,coat them with windscreen sealant and then poke some down the hole and rebolt them in.

Worked for me.

If it was in the looms under the floor 99% chance it was running down the pillar between the doors from the roof.

There was moisture at the far edges of the firewall just in front of the trim that covers all the cables and connectors. I would say it was coming from the cables through those rubber grommets just above where it was wet. The ones that most people poke more cables through. They looked like they had not been sealed properly. I hope its not the roof though. That's a very hard job for me as with my problem I do not have any strength left so I will have to get the local shop to do it for me.

All fingers crossed.

Can run down from the front bolt hole, through the windscreen pillar and drip off the bracing under the dash.

I have two holes in the firewall for extra wires but havent had any water in them and they arent even sealed up.

Havent been in any deep water though.

Hi (unknown name)

We have been through quite a bit lately. Nolans on the OTL was about 1.3M and a couple of other creekss were over 500mm. Plus the odd trip into the Vic Hills through the Murray etc. Its no wonder it came in. After Nolans we checked under the bonnet and the firewall was all wet as well as lots of splashes all over the motor. Thank heavens its clean and its a diesel. We had to pull three petrol fuelled cars out of Nolans with the winch. They hadn't even let their tyres down, nor put a water blind on. They just followed each other without waiting for the previous one to exit and when the first got stuck the others had to stop. Whoops. All three motors just became flooded and stopped. Fair dinkum there are idiots out there.

Back to the water. I saturated the roof rack mounts and it didn't come in.

Maybe I have it. We are off again soon and there will be water so we will see. The carpets are still out.

Thanks for the hint.

Phil
