leeroy73 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi all ok so I've replaced the door frame seal hoping that would cure my leak. Unfortunately not! Still the same. I've been driving around now for a month with no seat Amd the carpet pulled as it literally fills up the foot well . I've checked the passenger door seal and the drain holes at the bottom. Also the strip down the window screen Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 How about the wing mirror triangle seal ? Have a look at my build thread post #42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Have you checked the drain in the bottom of the door, or the boot seal? Not sure if the zed had a drain under the window screen scuttle panel but it's worth checking. Leaks are a bloody pain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Someone else had a similar problem recently and did a large write up on it. It was something to do with the boot seal and parking on a slope. I think the water was pooling in the rear light fixture and then flowing back into the seat pan when parking on a slope.

Mopedmark Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Remove that plastic panel and you will see more it may be coming from somewhere you wouldn't expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david85williams Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I noticed a leak in my Z last winter. It only occurred when the car was sat on my driveway. Around the spare wheel the boot would collect water and the drivers footwell would also get damp. A long story short.... my driveway is sloped... When I park my car with the boot higher than the front water collects under the rear light buckets and makes its way through the grommet into the boot and eventually into the driver's footwell. So now I park facing up the drive! My car has been bone dry for a month now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 that picture makes it look like its dripping from somewhere higher. If its happening regularly you could tape up some pieces of paper in line with the water spots and try and trace where its dripping from.

eatonm90 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Had a similar leak on mine, after a few tests mine seems to be coming in from the top corner where the plastic side trim meets the top of the screen, may be your problem. The water then comes down the inside of the window seal rubber and exits here. which follows the door rubber down collects and into the footwell, one night off rain will soak 2 micro fibre drying towels. Think I have sorted mine with a small amount of black dum dum putty in the sceen to trim corner as a temp fix unitl I get time to remove the trim panel and fix it.

35oz's Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Assuming you got the new door seal from Nissan? Do you mind me asking how much it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello mate, I've recently bought a zed and just discovered that I have a leak in the exact location. Did any of you guys that have this type of leak managed to sort it out? What was the solution? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
