Iv recently had the dreaded leaking targa syndrome......

 

whenever i get into the car the seats are wet and a bit of the front carpet but today i decided to check the back of the car late at night as i had some stuff in the back which needed clearing up..... (i had washed the car in the morning)

 

The rear carpets were drenched and really wet......how can this be?

 

The rear seats were as dry as can be.......the heater matrix was only replaced in december so its defianetly not that......even then only the front carpets were affected from the leak

 

Any help would be appreciated as im starting to get worried im gonna start getting soggy carpet syndrome

YEP me too ......got some OEM new rubber seal's from MJP's........

 

..

it will prob be your targa seals mate it happens to them all speak to luke at the z centre he sells new ones http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/index.php?cPath=21_44_99

I can see it leak from the front targas but why are the rear carpets soaked in water.......

 

The front carpets are a little damp but how can the rear carpets be so wet.....

 

do the rear of the targas leak aswell.......any fixes?

 

Fas......a very unhappy zed owner

GGRRRRRR I hate my leaking targa. some one said to spray silicone spray on the rubber seals stopped it. i hav'nt tried it yet but i will do soon.

i had the same thing mate since i changed rubbers seemed to stop - one of lifes weird things - i could only put it down to the water soaking through or something like that !!!!

 

or you have a leak somewhere else door rubbers - hole in floor rear window seal ???:confused:

Hole in the floor.......LOL

 

So your rear carpets were wet aswell heh.......

 

it cant be the rear tailgate tub as the seats are perfectly dry.....only the rear carpets are really wet......

 

Did you only change the targa rubbers or did you do the door seals aswell?

 

Fas

i did change all rubbers - but the water seemed to stop just after i did targa seals and there was a few weeks between me doing targa seals and the rest !!!!

im glad you liked my hole joke :)

 

i didnt want to take any risks thats why i done them all cost a few quid mind :(

I got the exact same problem. Word to word. Never got time though to have a close look on where its coming from. So until I do, I've locked it in the garage. Do let us know when you have located the root to the problem Fas. ;)

Faisal, it leaks from the back outside corner of the targa, down inside the trim to the carpet.

i got a tube of rubber sealant from halfrauds and emptied half the tube into the gap under the rubber right above the top corner of the A-pillar. worked a treat, although i darent take my targa off now for fear of it going back to being an incontinent old man again :headvswal
