UTB05S Member 42 Member For: 18y 9m 22d Posted 10/02/07 08:33 AM Share Posted 10/02/07 08:33 AM that's right.....I took delivery of my BF ute in september last year and it has been back to the dealership 4 times already to try and fix a water leak into the cabin on the drivers side. AND IT STILL LEAKS!!my car gets undercover parking at home as well as at work so that's why it takes so long to test if it leaks as it hardly see's the rain.the dealership has been concentrating on the rear of the cabin all the other times re-sealing the rear window and apparently re-sealing a seam at the rear, which obviously havnt worked.so the othjer night as the rain started I backed my car out into the rain and sat in it for half an hour in the rain, turns out the water is coming in from the front as the carpet gets wet from front to rear....this is as far as my testing went and the car will be returning to the dealership next week for the 5th time for them to try again.you really think FoMoCO would be looking after me by now wouldnt you? apparently "inconvieniance isnt covered by warrenty". I can understand this for the first time but by now I really think someone should be kissing my arse.your thoughts?Andrew Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32454-does-anyone-else-get-wet-feet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

cqae Member 229 Member For: 21y 6m 7d Posted 11/02/07 10:16 AM Share Posted 11/02/07 10:16 AM I had a similar problem with mine when I first got it. leaked near passengers head only in heavy rain. the seam under that black strip of rubber had a hole in it. unfortunhately, I have since seen quite a few BA's with pretty pathetic seams where 2 panels are joined together. Mine used to leak in the car wash too-so I used that to pin point where it leaks from. If yours is leaking at your feet, I assume on the outer side, I would guess a windscreen or the seam that runs along the roof about 2-3 inches in from the door line Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32454-does-anyone-else-get-wet-feet/#findComment-496145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines been back to the Fraud a total of 6 times(seven days total) in the last 2 months to diagnose and fix a knock in the arse end that has arisen since they changed the diff.They changed 3 diff bushes on the last visit(supposedly) and its now worse than ever... I've accepted that I will have to find the problem myself and then take it back...
