HELP, Water leak! - Land Rovers Only

collins · 01-05-2008, 07:49 AM

Okay, I have heard the RRC is prone to water leaks, my floor boards are starting to rust. I have removed the water soaked insulation and surface rust. most of the rust is around the door on the floor boards(lowest point of the floor). I noticed the rubber seal around the bottom of the door is torn up pretty good, Is this a common place for water to enter? Or should I be looking at the windsheild? I cannot see any water stains coming down from the firewall. Thanks for the help!

rear doors left and right above the wheel... water always collects there and then it just rusts through. other then that i belive my truck is pretty water tight as far as water getting in... (93 rrc swb)

my dads 2002 disco II leaks at the front sun roof and fills up with water then you go to drive and it spills all over the place, i HATE it when that happens...

rear seat belt anchors at the wheel well, they rust thru the weld spots, also at the front
the seams where the floorboard meets the foot well and along side the door sills.
some have reported the "A" pillar behind the windshield.
