0:00 We have a Nissan Note in today, 2013, for the water leak procedure. So we're just going to show you what we've found so far. So if we just focus on the driver's rear door, we've got the lever bars down the back of the window. So what we're going to do is we're just going to simulate by putting some water down on the outside.

0:26 Some water down the outside of the window. Now, it should be coming out the bottom of the door, which it is doing. But if we look closely, we can see that there's water coming out from the door membrane, and so that corresponds with the customer having wet foot wells. And so if we just push down here a second, if I just move the torch out the way, so if we just push down on the carpet there, we can see how wet that is under there. And also, if we come to the front of the car

0:59 I believe we can feel it in the front of the car as well. So it's more wet at the back than it is the front, but you can feel that it's damp under now. Okay, so that's what we've found so far.

This is a fairly straightforward rain water leak; leaky door membranes are not unique to Nissans, they are one of the most common leaks on any kind of car.

Solution: Replace the door membrane and seal it properly, and recommend that we do all four doors because if one has perished, the others are likely not far behind. As it's not an expensive fix in terms of parts, it makes sense to do it.

The car will also need to be dried, so the front seat will come out, the carpet lifted up, the water underneath extracted, and then we will put our drying machines on it.

Question: "If I use a car cover and get the car dried out, can I bring it to you in the summer?"

Answer: You could do, but we strongly advise against this.
The car will be very unlikely to dry on its own. You really need to get those carpets lifted, suck out the water and dry the car with blowers and dehumidifiers. Otherwise, the car will remain wet.

You are probably already experiencing condensation and a damp smell. Putting a car cover over it will just increase the condensation and warmth while making the car nice and dark. You will be creating a mould farm.

So stay away from car covers, but by all means, keep the car garaged and make serious attempts to dry the car if you can.

Our specialist water leak team is on hand: call us and we can usually give you a steer within minutes.
