that was stuck, and over the seats inside. had to cut a hole in the pouch to get the water out.

snorkel, drain pipe.

Post by: clbarclay on August 16, 2008, 19:12:55: When rebuilding my sills with box section I deliberately didn't pust the lips back on which the door seal fits on to at the bottom. This way any watter that gets in will get out again lot easier. The only carperts left in mine are over the rear wheel arches and they are only there to tidy up around the rear seats.

The bottom section of the door seals got cut away so the seals now just run down to the sill and then run onto the side of the sill for a couple of inches, where they are bonded on. Though not yet finishes the plan is to get some suitable seal that can then be stuck/riveted onto the bottom of the door.

Post by: Disco-andy on August 17, 2008, 20:49:55: Iv swapped the carpets for 18mm stable matting witch keeps the noise down and lifts out after a good day off road to let every thing dry out. And doesn't adsorb water like the standard rubbish.
