This Mazda is showing the exact, same problem as on the last video with an MX5, which is that water leaks through the screws which attach the scuttle plate to the bodywork.
Water runs through the screw holes, straight through the bulkhead.
This car also has the issue of the seal around the centre brake light leaking, so water can pour through into the boot.
Both these issues can be solved with some sealant, and then we will dry the car. We would also suggest that the issue or rust be addressed, but that is usually beyond the scope of what we do.
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: "What is Krytox and why should a get it from you?"
Answer: Krytox is a rubber and vinyl reviver, it puts the solvents back into your rubbers that evaporate over time. Old rubbers rarely crack, but they do lose their elasticity and tend to get squashed in place. This, coupled with dirt, means they no longer form a good seal and can cause leaks, especially on convertible cars like an MX5 which has its windows pressed up against rubber seals instead of holding the windows in door frames.
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?

It's that screw again! This time it seems to have been caught early before the car filled with water.

James shows the leaks from the scuttle area. There are two bolts which have a rubber washer which should seal them waterproof.
Watch VideoThere are no surprises here, the door membranes are leaking. On a few cars the inner door membranes are moulded plastic panels, but on the vast majority of cars they are just a sheet of clear plastic held in place with a bead of heavy-duty sealant.
Watch VideoWe suspected the rear light was leaking, this is possible if the rubber seal around it has perished.
