:-D Graeme is right, no auxiliary shower needed in mine either. Jess was quite unimpressed when her feet got wet every time we went through a big puddle on the way back, she was more annoyed because my feet stayed dry :lol: i must sort that nackered door seal :think:

No leaks in Reynard, he remained nice and dry during the torrential rain :-D

No leaks here either, but there a lot of sub-marinas.

He used to leak like a sieve Gary. I thought it was leaking through the screen so I plastered it with sealant but it still flooded like hell even in short showers. I dug deeper while recommissioning Reynard and found that my N/S A post was holed and soft in places so I cut out the rot and welded fresh metal in and now he's water tight! :lol:

That might be a good explanation for why my SDL leaks like a sieve, not so sure about the Mumford though :rolls:

Check between the top and bottom hinge Gary. Mines looked ok until I started poking it with a screwdriver. At one point I had the garden hose on the car to try and find the leak as it was just weeping out from the top of the sill/ bottom of the a post

My saloon also leaks through the n/s A post, although its not corrosion but two small holes left unfilled where the welds of an old wing were chiselled off or drilled out. I only realised this due to the recent torrential rain. :rolls:
