Another Mini which is leaking through the doors, this time it's coming through the speakers
The customer had pulled a lot of the interior apart trying to find this leak, which appears to be caused by the sealant which holds the inner door membrane perishing.
Solution: This is a simple fix, we would replace the membranes and seal them properly in place. And we would recommend preventing future leaks, replacing them on all four doors.
Water in your car leads to mould, rot and corrosion. Up to a 3rd of the value of your car is the electrical systems, which are easily damaged by water and costly to replace.
Question: "My car is only a few years old, and it's already leaking. Isn't this a manufacturer's fault?"
Answer: If your car is still within warranty, you can certainly contact the dealer and ask them to fix the issue which is causing your car to leak. However, garages and dealerships are seldom equipped to decontaminate and dry your car. But you can give them a try.
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?
