Condensation/ leak in rear

Post by Caddy Carper »

Evening all,

My caddy is horrendous with condensation, the front windscreen freezers inside in the winter it’s that wet.

I’ve found a wet patch after heavy rain on the rear offside wheel arch and where there are holes up the rear pillar, (it’s fully carpeted so can identify patches quite easy)I’ve replaced the roof rack bolts with genuine screws but cannot stop this leak.

Any ideas where it could be getting in or how to stop it?

Tia

there are rubber bungs at various points around the chassis/body underneath.

I suspended a piece of wood over the wheel arch to see is the water was dripping down or being soaked upwards.

The word is wet so the leak is from above.

I cannot for the life of me figure where from
