Guernsey 2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Rimini Red
Leaks, Leaks everywhere!
Well this is my first winter owning a defender, and it seems to be more like a paddling pool at the moment. Its a 2007 puma 90 (which i must admit, didn't think leaks would be as much of an issue in) and the passenger footwell is constantly damp in the weather we've had, seem to have found the problem being a poorly fitted windscreen at the local autoglass certified specialist (in Guernsey, so not actually autoglass) which is being sorted as it was a windscreen insurance claim.

Gave a few friends a lift yesterday and they noticed the carpet beside the back seats were absolutely soaking, having looked in the rain, water is streaming out from under the plastic below the windows, a lot of the way along. looks like its coming from between the window and bodywork. Must admit, as much as i love the car, the fact its not exactly watertight is starting to get a little annoying.

My question is, how many other places should i check for leaks before taking it to the garage to have the rear windows sorted? i take it there's going to be several more areas to look at, but not sure i'd notice them all. may as well try and sort the lot at once.

thanks Thumbs Up
