any ideas whats causin gthis?

i have a 3 door 6n2 1.0
and the headlingin looks like its been wet and then dried again on the very far left on the passengers side by the window

any ideas guys?

sunroof? or damaged door seals?

i dont have a sun roof ands its not near the door, only got the three door model its near the window but ive checked all the seal around that.

i was told it maybe the rear washer piping but i dont think that runs through the headlining?

it dosent it runs down the passenger side of the car, do you have a corroded areil base ?... that may be letting water in ?

I was gonna say aerial - that could be a possibility.

hmm its not the nicest looking thing,

hopefully if we have some nice weather i can take a look tomorrow,
or crap weather could help to assess the problem

thanks for the help and ill let you know

if not its just an excuse to reline the headlining

i believe its the roof bar thingy if anyone else is having this problem,

n ot sure on a solve yet

roof bar thingy?

i think he means the two slats either side of the car that you place the roof bars into...

Aye, he means the roof strips/rails

I cant work out how that would leak though - its a bonded part of the chassis. Best way to fix it (if it is leaking) is with something like tigerseal or a similar PU sealant as this will seal it up with flexibility for chassis movement.

i dont really see how it can leak either... id still say its most likely to a corroded or lose ariel base. or even loose door seals ?

Agreed - the door seals touch the headlining, so it is possible it could be causing it.

Either that, or the windscreen seal has split.

Can you get a photo of the affected area of headlining?

yeh i will do over the next couple of days

im pretty sure its not the aerial since it is not in the middle of the car just the left.

its only a 3 door so it wont be door seals

i will get a picture up asap
