    How to prove Windscreen is leaking ?

    in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)

    Posted · Edited by iansmith
    .

    Autoglass Capers have fixed their leaking fitted windscreen (this afternoon), they say.

    In the meantime they tried to fix my non working electric window winder without my knowledge,  at their expense, he said?

    Helpful, hey ?  :)

    Now I have a waterproof new windscreen, he said .

    And non working central locking, was previously.

    Works with a key, thats nice hey?

    and a wedged up non working driver door window awaiting parts and fitting at their expense, he said. Never ending story. What next ?

    My car carpet is saturated :(

    My MOT expires at the end of the month, previously booked 15th Oct.

    Do they pass wedged up windows ?

    I am 75, errr ..  :)

    Cracked windscreen replaced by Autoglass beginning September, the latest downpours bringing flooded driver side floor. Removed driver door card to check for panel leaks , can't ' see' anything untoward, put some sealer on it anyway. Auto glass site chat says open MONDAY today being Saturday. I'm Sure they fit 24 hours ! No money in fixing leaking fitted windscreens ?

    I took the fabia to the garage down the road. He said it was silencer baffles, and needs new shock absorbers.

    So I replaced the rear silencer, not blowing , the outer skin had holes but the inner skin was intact. No difference to knocking on speed humps.

    I then replaced the os rear shock, but I could not see anything wrong with it.

    At this stage I noticed the shock upper mount rubber was maybe too deteriorated but not causing any movement with just hand pressure.

    I have now replaced this mount https://tinyurl.com/y6n572l8 and now no knocking.

    The garage would have charged for shocks and exhaust system ...

    likely not the same as a Fabia 1 ?

    I'll change droplinks first.

    Cant detect  play in axle bushes, but does sometimes graunch noise nearside,

    knock offside.

    Probably corroded connections on the door module connectors which aren't weatherproof cos the inside of a Fabia is supposed to be dry...

    Fix all leaks into the cabin and it may stay 'fair weather' inside the car more of the time.

    I have never noticed leaks into the cabin, where would it be from at that height above the floor ?
