S40 (New) Body : - Water Leak No Sunroof

Kamerman · Nov 20th, 2019, 20:29

Hello,
i've been searching the forum to see if i could find someone with a problem similar to mine but without luck.

I have a 2005 s40 with a water leak on the rear right side passanger side,
the water spot is close to the rear seats, i have no sunroof and i rarely use the a.c.
I read that some leak water from the a.c. vent under the seat but i turned on the a.c at maximum speed and not a single drop was found.

Its been raining a lot recently so im scared of damaging the body and the eletrical system.

Please help my Volvo

Could it be door/window related if it's in the rear?
Is there any sign of ingress above the door seal?

I did not show any traces of it but i'll pour water on the door and check if there is anything that gives me a lead.

the rear windscreen seal has probably failed - water is pouring in below the trim. Try to apply soapy water to the seals of the rear windscreen and use pressurised air from the inside to find the leak. If it leaks, you will need a new rear windscreen.

Tried that and nothing came out but as i was dissembling near where it was wet, i saw under the small plastic part that covers the door seal, next to the lower part of the back seat that gets covered when the door closes, a lot of water droplets.

Now im wondering if the water comes from the door.

Found the problem, water was getting inside the car through the wires ruber seal inside the door panel

. Im trying to isolate the seal with silicone and duct tape. So far it's working but i better find a better solution. Anyway thank you for all your help guys.
