💧 On this Mini, we have found two water leaks, (so far), one in the window between the door and rear window, and another in the boot.
The window leeks are fairly typical of what we find on convertible cars, as windows are often not held in a frame but are instead waterproofed by being pressed against rubbers. This all depends on the rubbers holding their shape and being plump, flexible and clean. As we can see from what we found in the boot, the rubbers are not good. Over time, the solvents and plasticizers in the rubber evaporate. They can shrink, lose their shape, become stiff and inflexible and, of course, they can get dirty.
Solution: Usually the rubbers can be brought back with a rubber reviver after they have had a good clean. Rubber reviver can be quite expensive stuff (for a good one that works) but it does actually work and is cheaper than replacing all the rubbers with new ones which is the other option.

A B O U T
The videos shown on this channel are taken from inspection reports, filmed for the customer who has paid for a diagnostic inspection, which comes with a video report. We share them here for informational purposes because the hardest part of fixing leaky cars is finding the leak.
After the initial inspection, if the customer agrees to have the work done, we film progress reports for the customer and will sometimes include them here.

F E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S
Q: How much does it cost?
A: We don't know. That's why we do a diagnostic inspection. We cannot answer the question of how much it costs to fix before we know the extent of the problem. Prices for our inspection and hourly rates can be found on our website.
Q: Why don't you show us how to fix it?
A: This isn't a DIY channel, we are sharing videos we take for the customer as part of our inspection process. Furthermore, the vast majority of the fixes are simple, and if you need to ask how to fix them, you probably should let a professional deal with it. See below:
⚠️ C A U T I O N ⚠️
⚡ Electricity and water is a dangerous combination. This is especially the case with electric and hybrid cars, but most modern cars have electronic control units in areas which are prone to water ingress. These are easily damaged and can be expensive to replace.
💥Areas that need to be accessed to fix water leaks may contain air bags. These are explosive and can be quite sensitive. Tampering with them could lead to serious injury.
☣️ Cars that have been damp for a prolonged period often contain mould, mildew and dangerous bacteria. Mould spores can seriously affect the health of people with asthma, the old, very young, and people with compromised immune systems. Mould should always be taken seriously.
