Renault Clio | Water Leak Found | Scuttle Video
Jan

2021
We have seen a lot of these down the years. There is a trough in front of the bulkhead under the 'scuttle' which is the plastic panel just under the windscreen.
This trough has a drainage hole on either side. Over time, leaves and other debris finds its way down your windscreen into this area, and it can eventually block your drainage holes. The trough then fills with water and leaks past the bulkhead into the passenger compartment.
Solution: Unblock the holes and then clean up the passenger compartment. The carpets need to come up, the water sucked out and the car dried.

The second set of leaks on this Renault Megan. We like to be thorough, and it would have been easy to stop looking for leaks at these leaky doors, but because it's a Renault we went straight for the bulkhead and found a leak as shown in part 1.

Renault are prone to leak through the bulkhead, this is usually caused by blocked drainage holes in the trough that sits under the windscreen, which then fills up with water and leaks through.

This car had blocked sunroof drainage holes, blocked on both sides, which often causes problems as the water can then run down from the roof, but as there doesn't seem to be much water on the passenger side this doesn't seem to be the main culprit.
