0:00 Okay, quick video on the Ford Fiesta. So we have checked all the previous work we've done, and everything's tested up fine. The only thing I have now found is I've had to strip down the tailgate, because there was a little bit of a suspicious. This was getting wet here. So what we're going to do is we're going to close this, the tailgate.
0:23 Now what we're going to focus on is this little grommet in here. Now, if I just give that a little bit of a lift, it's actually, it looks like it's broken off. So as you can see, there's a break in it. So if we pour some water down the back side of the window, so it took us a while to find this one, because it's a bit of a strange run, because it couldn't, it wasn't adding up to the evidence.
0:48 So if we go like that and then quickly jump in the back of the car. Right, OK, so we can see that the water is passing through here. And then it's coming down here, running down on the tailgate, and then it's running in. So then it's ending up in the where the spare wheel is.
1:09 But once the covers on, and this cover, the step here is on, what it will be doing is it will be kind of diverting it off to run off to the sides right here. And then that and it adds up, but it's getting wet in the sides, and then it's following it all the way down and then coming into the driver's footwell and the passengers.
1:30 Now, if we just have a quick look underneath the rear seat, we can see a bit of evidence of water there. So that's where it's running down and filling up the footwells. Before you quickly go over to the other side as well, can't really see this side, but there's just a slight, slight bit of water on there as well.
1:54 So that's obviously what's filling the footwells up. We have managed to get a price on this, apparently it is separate. So what we're gonna have to do is take the window wiper off and the motor, and then obviously take the grommet off and put a new grommet in, and then obviously put it all back together. So there we go, so that's what we've found so far. And we looked on the invoice previously, this back rubber wasn't sealed, but as you can see it is sealed to the car, so it's not loose. And I mean, just for belt and
2:29 embraces, because we haven't sealed it last time. There we go, so this bottom bit comes off a little bit easier, because we haven't sealed it with our stuff. It may be worth obviously just resealing this door rubber or tailgate rubber as well, as just so it's all nice and bonded to the car. So there we go. Oh, and just to double show, I believe you know yourself, but we've got wetness in the driver's rear, as we can see that goes to the front as well. And it's the
3:03 same in the passenger side as well, so there's wet all underneath the carpet. So there we go.
