theoptimist Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 hi guys, i have had problems with water in my car freezing the inside of the windscreen and creating condensation on the sun roof, so i was looking through the car, the front of the car is bone dry until i get to the windscreen, i then opened the cubby box in the boot to find all my ratchet straps frozen in an inch of water. i dried the cubby box out, and now have a heater drying out the inside. however the rain started to fall last night, and i found drips on the cubby box hatch in the boot, found that the hard top seal for the window seemed to be rotting away. is int possible to replace this and where do i get the seal? Also found water coming from the aerial, this problem i'm going to solve with a new aerial connector and some mastic. Are there any other areas for water ingress? i have been wading in my freelander but all the water seems to be coming from above. Many thanks Theoptimist.

FridgeFreezer Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 They all do that, drill holes in the bottom of the cubby to let it out again. Buy parts from t' parts shop, fit as per the RAVE manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoptimist Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 would the holes not let water in whilst wading i wade with my freelander almost every other day to feed/check livestock. cheers theoptimist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Never had a problem, don't do a lot of wading but you're not going to be any worse off (if it fills up, it empties again) and anything that leaks in will run straight out the rest of the time. Could always put a boat-style flappy vent on it to stop stuff coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoptimist Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 that's not a bad idea i have a one way drain plug for a sailing dinghy that would be ideal. Thanks fro the idea fridge freezer. Just looked at 3 door hard top window seal but says it wont fit commercial, is there any reason why it wouldn't the tops are the same just with out windows arn't they.
