Ford Transit Connect 2017 | Another Water Leak

Video transcript

0:00 OK, so now we're on a little bit of a sneaky one. I found this one while I was testing the rear lights, and I believe it's the rear seam. So I'm going to show you obviously the seam. So what you can just vaguely see in the camera there, the little, obviously the line, that line is the seam, which obviously makes everything sill.

0:26 So there we go, so we've got the seam line now. Now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to put a tiny bit of water down the outside of the seam, and you should, there we go, so we can see that there is water coming in that seam every time I squeeze my bottle.

0:46 So that will need obviously resealing as well, because that's filling up the box section. And just to show you, so all I'm doing is I'm just squeezing a little bit of water there, and then it's coming in. So there we go. So we've got two rear air vents and we've got a welded seam as well. I would recommend possibly doing an hours investigation when we have the rear bumper off and the lights out, and just to make sure that no other seams are leaking. And I believe that's all we've found so far.

We found a leaking seam letting in water on this Ford Transit.

You can see we are using a remote camera to look behind the panels, and James managed to find a seam that leaks.

 Another secret leak on the Ford transit connect which is in the back box section below the rear passenger light which you can see on our Flexi-Camera that there is an ingress of water on a welded seem, so we have had to chase out clean primer and re-seal to stop the water filling up the box sections in the back of the van.

Question: "The passenger side of my car's floor is wet after it rains. I have a convertible roof and think it's coming down the window pillar. Is this anything to worry about?"

Answer: This is quite common on cabriolet hoods and nothing to worry about unless you have a Porsche, then you should panic. 

Usually the fittings of the hood need a good clean out and the rubbers gently massaged with a special product we have that softens the rubber back up and helps it go back into its original shape. Usually this fixes matters and if not, it's possible to order a set or replacement rubbers which doesn't cost the earth... except on Porsches. They can be relatively quite expensive on some cars, but some cars are relatively quite expensive, so nothing to worry about.
