SOS leak

AlexD333 · 10-08-2014, 09:31

So noticed yesterday morn. Didn't realise the weather would be so bad, water is getting in from my aerial, dripping from the map light bit.. Now I'm nt qualified to remove headlining ect but if I can find some shelter can I try n mask it somehow?

Any suggestions greatly welcome as we have a storm going down!!

Cling film for now? Or if you can dry the area off for long enough to wrap it all in gaffer tape.

Well, I know a huge long underground car park where it can dry, gaffa might be the way

Shame you are so far away you'd of been welcome to stick the motor under my carport and do the job properly. Best of luck with the temp fix tho.

I had to get the headlining out of my T2 last month for a sunroof leak that i fixed with a bit of chunky rubber floor matt.Its dead easy to do m8 and took me 40min to remove the thing and that was the first time i done one.Cant you get some sealant for now for a temp fix around the aerial for now till the weather lets up

I reckon the problem with any sealant is getting it to stick when wet.

I guess if its parked up and not moving a simple bin bag or something over the top of the vehicle.
