Xc60 water leak

Mikesmith181 · Aug 3rd, 2017, 13:00

Afternoon guys. Has anyone had any issues with water getting in around the passengers side rear door at the top? I noticed water dripping on the rear seat when it was raining earlier, and now I look closely the roof lining appears to have a slight stain spanning the 2 grab handles, front and back. The water was dripping from the top of the door seal but I've had a look and all seems fine. Any help great fully appreciated

If the car is parked front up you could find that water could be leaking from the windscreen and finding a route to the rear door area under the roof covering. I and others have had poorly fitted factory windscreens and I have had water dripping from the front roof light unit, so if the angle is there it could flow in many directions. There is plenty of information on this site about the poorly fitted screens but a good push on the inside of the screen with noted movement could mean the bonding has failed.

I'd say the front left is up the way it's parked, but the stain isn't that far forward. I did have a new screen fitted around 12 months ago by auto glass, the chap seemed to know what he was doing, however that doesn't mean the bond won't fail. I'll have to have a play when I get a spare 5 minutes.

Does anyone know how the plastic trim on the roof comes off? Just in case it's something under that?
