williaty Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 For a long time, I've been ending up with water in the back of the van. Based on reading here, I thought it was from the 3rd brake light but when I caulked that properly the water kept showing up. Then I thought it might be coming up through the floor where the bolts for the 3rd row seats and seatbelts bolt in but after caulking all of those shut I still had water. Eventually, I caught it at just the right time and realized it was filling the divot in the floor where the left side barn door latches and then driving was slinging the water all around the back under the carpet. So I locked my wife in the back and started hosing down the rear door seals. There's a MASSIVE leak where the left side barn door's seal presses onto the chassis-side seal that runs all the way around the opening. I think what's happening is that the chassis-side seal isn't conforming well enough to the door-side seal and there's a small gap forming just beside the door-side seal. Has anyone heard of this leak before? Has anyone fixed this leak before? Any words of wisdom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
