I've bought a Fabia Elegance Estate, nice and cheap because the interior is worn, has been smoked in, had a dog in it, soaking wet, covered in milldew and worse....basically it's a real mess, I need to change the headlining, carpets and seats. So two questions.

Firstly how do I stop the water leaking in?

Secondly, will the seats and carpets from a hatchback fit an Estate?

Many thanks

Yes to the seats and carpets. I've got VRS seats in my estate.

Check out the pinned thread and navigate to the leaky carrier thread for info on preventing leaks

Excelen, many thanks, I have found the seats and carpets in a breakers nice and cheap, just the headlining I need to source!

Just checked the thread on water leaks, looks like a very similar issue I've experienced with BMWs

So the good news is that I bought a set of VRS seats and black carpet from my local breaker for £100, the seats need a clean and there is some wear on the bolster of the driver's seat, but they aren't bad for the money!
