Here we are again with another Ford Focus with leaks in those rear air vents behind the bumper, allowing water into the boot and box sections.
The last Focus we showed you was an estate, while this is the standard shape, but they all suffer the same problem and leak in the same places with the water running through the box section and wetting the floors in the front and back.
The air vents have a silicone seal which becomes hard and inflexible with age, dirt starts getting behind it causing the seal to leak.
Solution: These air vents will be replaced, the area cleaned of dirt, ensuring a good seal. Then we will remove the seats, lift the carpets, extract the water and dry the car. The car also has some mould which needs to be dealt with.
We have been finding and fixing car water leaks for over 30 years. We offer a complete service from tracing to repair and drying your car.
Question: "My Ford Focus leaks in exactly the same way. Ford should do a recall and fix this problem".
Answer: We couldn't possibly comment on what Ford should do. But we do know they have slightly changed the design of the air vents, which means replacement parts shouldn't leak in the future.
You had a rain water leak in your car, and you got it fixed. What next? It will dry out on its own right? Maybe you can just vacuum the carpets, and it will dry?
