Water drains blocked by foliage and debris.

Excess sealant, poorly fitted seals.

Accident damage not professionally repaired, incorrectly welded panels, spot welds or weld seams burnt through.

Plugs and grommets -1- incorrectly or only partly fitted.

Other possibilities of water ingress:

♦ Incorrect operation by the customer.

♦ Retrospective installations, attachments or conversions.

♦ Production faults such as missing fine seam seal in body area as well as missing welds and poorly executed adhesive bonding.

♦ Engineered that way, cannot be changed (e.g. no roof channel). These should be explained to the customer with arguments for and against.
