Water Ingress Part 2

[Northern Monkey]

Well here we go again! I haven’t had the new velle a week and guess what, yes the boot is leaking in on the new one.
I can’t believe that this is happening again I must be cursed lol!

Off to the dealers tomorrow the saga continues!

Oh for goodness sake that is crazy, you don’t even have roof bars fitted!

 

[Northern Monkey]

Nope I think it’s the tailgate and rubber contact this time, looks like it’s dripping between the two.

 

[Anthony Ullyart]

Mine has been in twice for this problem two new tailgate seals on and fingers crossed it’s not leaking in

 

[Oldrat]

You haven’t got an underwater garage have you?

That’s awful, and second time around.

 

[Northern Monkey]

Haha I’m starting to think I was a passenger on the titanic in a former life

 

[Northern Monkey]

Update been to the dealers today they’ve had a look and apparently he tailgate was slightly out of line, they say they’ve adjusted it and hopefully it cures the problem.
We shall see! To be continued..........

Well that repair worked well then! Bloomin ridiculous. I’m starting to get annoyed on your behalf @Roca

 

[Northern Monkey]

Tell me about it mate I just can’t believe it @DaveyB

There is supposed to be a gasket that goes between the tailgate hinge and the van body. The bolts should be done up super tight but I’d ask them to check it’s got this gasket in place in both hinges just to rule that out.

Thanks for that will do.

Update the velle has been in for a new tailgate seal and adjustment of the tailgate, are we taking bets if it’s been fixated or not?

I’m going to make a safe bet - it’s not fixed. Sorry.

Hello Northern Monkey! It seems that I have the same issue as you... Have you finally solved this? Thanks!

 

[Wills]

You should ask the dealer to set the pressure washer on the velle to prove the fix before they ask you to waste your time and pick it up again...

Went back another time to re adjust the tailgate and up to now it’s been ok fingers crossed.

A friend called in today, his new Birchover is back with Hillside as he found the rear speaker shelf and all his bedding below it was wet through, there was water dripping from both speakers... the panels have swelled and it sounds expensive... similar problem?

 

[Northern Monkey]

Could be fella although mine was only small drips when it had rained for quite some time, maybe the pop top seal? He hasn’t got roof bars fitted by any chance?

 

[Northern Monkey]

Well with storm Gareth comes more to the saga! Here we go again
