On motorway in torrential rain it fills the sills with water - you can hear it sloshing about, Fortunately have bungs (where I injected waxy) to remove / let the water out. Have had the drain 'tubes' blown through (maybe off - could that be the problem?) by my mechanic who says there's the sound of air escaping half way down level with the bottom of the windscreen, And also checked by Toyota main dealer (unbelievable £150 per hour) who poured water around the sunroof and because some came out at the bottom of the tube it was AOK! In the meantime there's still water filling the floor pan and splashing across the interior plastic side trim and - worse - the electrics.
I did have the inner and outer wings taken off and the inner wing rust cut out and new metal reshaped. Is there any way the cabin could be taking in water from the wheel arches because the inner wings have been incorrectly reinstalled or is it a sealed unit (after all the inner and outer wings are stand-alone bolt-ons) so no water can ingress through the front bulkhead? I haven't had a problem from jet washing for example.
Access to the tubes without peeling back the interior trim seems to be a problem.
And if the tubes need re-attaching or even replacing how is that done: pulling new ones through with a wire?
Or do I have to take the wings off again and will that give me access to the tubes or are they only accessible from the other side for the bulkhead?
My Haynes Manual doesn't give me detail on any of this btw.
Thanks - and Happy New Year
