TA22 Leaks in Rain

["Z" UTE]

I have used this method quite a few times on different cars to find those elusive leaks. Mix a couple of teaspoons of talcum powder with some metho, spray the solution around the seals. I use an old suction type spray gun, a trigger spray bottle would also work. The metho evaporates, leaving the talcum powder behind. Liberally apply copious quantities of water, walk away, have a cup of coffe/bottle of amber fluid, then check to see where the water has washed the powder off. Adjust windows, replace seals, reseal screens, replace boot seal, whatever it takes to prevent the water getting in.

cheers Chuck.

Mate my TA22 has the same leak.As Witzl said windscreen Sealant works but I'm guessing it's a rust hole in the bottom corner of your windscreen. I'm currently in the process of repairing my car now. Where is the water dripping if it's on the accelerator pedal as mine was I lay money you have rust.

All i can recommend is to remove the chrome strip are seem to hold water in there. and run a wide bead of sealant around the screen making sure you seal from the rubber to the car frame. Other option is to remove windscreen and cut the rust out.

one of the very popular leak point is the 2 bolt holes that hold the guard on, make sure that there is bolts in the rear most point, inside the door.
