Leak at Bonnet release handle and A pillar

Featured Replies

Hi have superb 2011 with no sunroof.  Notice leak at bonnet release handle when its raining. Had it at mechanic but couldnt find it. Now it also coming in at the A pillar above..both on passenger side. Any help be much appreciated.  Thanks

If the water is coming in at the top of the A-pillar, than it's usually a windscreen that's not properly glued. Can be tested by removing the A-pillar cover, pressurizing the car interior (by turning on the blower and blocking the air vents in the back as much as possible) and using a smoke generator (which any decent garage should have) to release smoke around the suspect area of the windscreen.

That rubber strip is there just for decorative purposes and does not keep the water out. Please re-read my previous post (or watch a movie on Youtube about the mounting of a windscreen).
