Water Leak
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
There is a slight drip coming from the area arrowed in the picture. The rear door seal is not the problem and I have tested the seal that runs across the back where the hi top meets the body. Has anyone any ideas

Re: Water Leak
Just took the Pollensa out for a morning stroll and went in the back to discover a small pool of water on the table (mounted on side window between the two opposing bench seats) and the water had obviously been dripping onto the table rail and the bottom curtain rail.
I've pulled the fly screen down and that has a long wet streak just right of centre. I then pulled the blind up and this was very wet around the same area. The blind on this window is also pretty grubby, which I assume indicates some previous damp.
I obviously should have taken photos before drying everything!
Any advice please?

Re: Water Leak
Check around the outside window frame, especially the top, to make sure there are no gaps in the sealant.
Does yours have the drainage gap in the roof rail mounting that ours does? That channels a lot of water in one place down the side and onto the top of the side windows.
Is there any sign of damp on the ceiling lining?

Re: Water Leak
Thanks Roger. I'll have a look outside when the rain goes off! I couldn't find any internal damp other than the blinds.
I'm sitting inside now and I there's a stream of water pouring down the outside of the window just to the right of where the fly screen was soaked so it's probably fair to say there's a link there!

Re: Water Leak
Yes, that's where the roof drain cutout is on ours. It does pour down there when it rains, there's one on both sides but if you're on a slight sideways tilt it tends to go more to one side than the other. You may find some green algae build up that'll need cleaning off before you can check the window frame sealant condition.
