« on: 11 September 2017, 15:44:50 »

.......and I noticed a 'sloshing' sound as I braked......and took off again.....and braked. Hmmm.....parked up in the retail car park and took the rubber bung out of the nearside sill...dry a a nuns wotsit. Took the rear rubber bung out of the nearside door........trickle. Took the front bung out......Niagra Falls  ;D
That rain was heavy this morning.

So....how do I stop it happening?

1. Park it in a garage ??

2. Wrap it in plastic ??

3. Buy a car that doesn't leak ?? (recommend a 17 year old Omega to you .. dry as a bone :)  )

Maybe the drain holes are bunged up as the water should drain out.  :-\

Is it the door that's filling up with water?  ???

There should be 3 or 4 slots along the bottom of the inside skin for the water to drain out.  Sounds like they're bunged up with crud.  ;)

Probably anti corrosion wax from the factory.

Might actually be worth getting it into Vauxhall for an inspection pending a corrosion warranty claim before getting too involved ;)

Replacement trim on the window might also be in order. :y

What DG said.

You've not had it long enough to be doing anything other than telling the dealer they need to fix it.  ;D

The rubber bungs are supposed to have a drain hole in them, I have seen them get clogged up over time.
