As if you needed to fit a shower in your marina

by the time i got home there was more water in the boot thanks to my leaky rear lamps than in my raiator.
Im glad you had a good but damp weekend Sean tels hope its sunny next year.

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

i must sort that nackered door seal

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

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!

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

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

Also a very good explanation as to why JWC leaked so much

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.
