Just wondered, as my body seams have a few leaks (it was converted from an ambulance) and the rear tilt isn't exactly waterproof either... it looks great, but the window seams leak and we seem to have a few pinholes too...
Was planning on putting fresh body sealer into the panel gaps and apply Fabsil to the tilt... just wondered if anyone else had these issues?
BTW... the Isle of Man is one of the mildest microclimates in the UK as far as temperatures go - one of the few places palm trees grow naturally... but it sure does rain here!!!
It aint what you drive, its the way that you drive it...
Mine leaks around the back door and around the front side windows. when I took my body panels apart for paint the had some sort of weather striping between them. When I put it back together I replace it with rubber weather striping.
My door seals work pretty well. Water does come in pretty bad through the drain holes when I'm in really deep water. When my son opens the back door it often FLOODS in. Of course this typically gives me better traction since I'm no longer floating.
OH, you mean rain... my bad.
If you didn't get stuck, you didn't try hard enough.

Auto windshield installers use it all the time,in a tube like for a caulking gun. Where to get it,don't know,I used to "mooch" the stuff when I was in the auto biz..
oh that stuff. we used to use it to quiet our turntables back in the vinyl days. i just got the windshield replaced in my tundra. the guy says they dont use that anymore cuz it doesn't hold when you go crashing thru it in an accident. they use a very fancy looking tube of urethane now.

I am not surprised that water gets in, there are so many holes. Gets in through the doors (between doors and windows), window sills, back and sides. In this part of the country it rains a lot, I moved from the desert to the rain, I am used to it now.
