Rain water in my MT03

[mark mikula]

I heard the sound of water sloshing in the hollow kick panels on both sides. I don't know how the water is getting in, but if you pull the kick panel, you can remove the body plugs to allow the water to drain. I'm leaving these out for now.



I had previous electrical problems. The rear window and power lock wouldn't work.

After a month of drying out, all is working.

You did not say much, and I don't know what an MT03 is???



If you bought the vehicle used, recently, you may have purchased a flooded vehicle from hurricane Sandy or some other storm or flooded area? You may have rust-through holes that allow water enter and get trapped in the kick panels. I may also be cause by a wreck that split a body seam and was not noticed or properly repaired?



If you have a sunroof, usually the drain hoses to direct the water go down the A-pillar (windshield posts) and might be damaged? If they were clogged, the leak would be noticed in the roof.
