Water Leak / Just do it your self

[Sal-XK]

Are you 100% positive that the water is coming from the rubber grommet? I know there have been a lot of XK owners with similar issues and I dont recall that being a problem.

I started a thread maybe we can narrow this down...

I'll have to take a picture of where the water is entering. From the inside just to the right of where the wires come in there are to holes side by side where the water leaks in. thats the only spot the water is coming in from. I guess I can run more tests on it to see. What I did was put a garden hose on my roof and crawled into the floor and watched it come in. If its not that rubber piece then I think the only two options left are the roof rails or the windshield.

Well if water leaks through those two holes when you put a garden hose on the roof then that would be a good start. Fix that issue and then go from there. I dont believe that the roof rails would be causing the problem. Do you have a sun roof?

[Sal-XK]

No sunroof or anything up there. I wasn't sure how the rails were installed if they could leak or not. My secondary door seal or what ever the TSB was for was fixed already. Its been either 90 degrees out side or its been raining so I hope to undo the idiots repair and start over soon.

The next thing I was going to mention was the secondary door seal but obviously that shouldnt be the issue if its already been fixed. A few months after I purchased my XK I had water pouring in through the a-pillar and the secondary door seal was the problem. No leaking since the dealer fixed it.

Ya know what now that I've seen this guys work I think I just might have to revisit that repair as well

Sal do you have a copy of this TSB? I don't know if mine has been repaired or not, but would like to check it out.

No I don't I think we have a thread here with a link to all the TSB's I'd find it but I'm on my phone.

This might be real helpful for the next unfortunante person.

[Sal-XK]

Here are the two holes I was talking about. It looks like this idiot tried to plug them as well after I told him not to because the water would just go somewhere else

Well here is his repair enough said I think






What a crappy job this guy did man now you know why I'm worried about the secondary door seal he fixed already. What a mess I have to clean up now.

Any one have suggestions based on the pictures I posted ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
