Roof Leak

[SiRbossR]

wala rin ba antenna? sa mini cooper sa antenna yung problem e.

Hindi sa antenna eh pero culprit ko talaga is antenna. Habang umuulan one time, tinanggal ko yung map light and wala naman tulo from the antenna base.

if your car is one of those with thick butyl adhesive between the windshield glass and the metal frame...

if you can remove the borloloy weatherstrip, you might be able to visualize the area where the thick butyl adhesive has separated from the glass/metal.

Hmm. I don't wanna DIY on this cause I might Fvck it up. haha. I'll bring it to a specialist instead. I'm glad that this "normally" happens. I just hate it everytime it leaks! well everybody hate leaks.

Thanks guys!

Check for rust in the uuper part of the windshield where it is installed

^No rust on that part. It's really weird, it leaks on one place only.

mentioned earlier, when the car (specially unitized body) is raised at one corner with a garage jack higher than the scissors jack that came with the car, the body flexes too much and the windshield either cracks or the adhesive butyl tape peels of or creates a gap either between the butyl and the windshield or between the butyl and the body of the car. perform an inexpensive test using a stethoscope and compressed air. have an assistant blow compressed air in front of the windshield while you on the backside (inside the car) listen with a stethoscope. this way, you and pinpoint the leak to within the closest 1/2 inch from the suspected leak

I just remembered, i always go to this place where mag fle flex talaga yung suspension and mayb pati chassis nung kotse, and your inside wheel will hang in the air. Baka rin dahil din Ill have it checked very soon.

hey! i never thought of that!
so we use the diaphragm... where do you place the stetoskok po?
on the glass, or on the ceiling cover?
(it's not for me.. it's for the laymen..)
