break calipers and swimmingpool
Today I picked up the van from the garage. The defective brake calipers have been replaced.
At the same time (and unwittingly) the Van became subjected to a water leak test: he stood in the rain for one night.
And this is where the swimmingpool is showing up: When I sat behind the wheel and slammed the door, it splashed. No, no, not a few drops. I'm talking about gallons!
Then the garage men told me: The seals on both side of the windows in the doors are never 100% waterproof. Therefore, the doors have bottom holes on the outside of the seals, so that the water can flow outside.
On the passenger side the holes existed, but the driver door was sealed completely. Half the doorway filled with water. So we drilled the holes again, the water flowed out, all well dried up, and then we mounted the missing foil glue into the door frame.
- It should look like this one.
- The driver door is now unprotected
- This painters film was too thick, I took cheap plastic wrap from the kitchen as a substitute ;)
- The film has to withstand only the water run down, so this should be ok.
