Waterproofing???

(1/3) > >>

smo:
On our way back from some green laning the other day we dropped by a "local" ford to have a wash from the mud, and because its fun!!

Anyway - it was pretty deep compared to normal and fast flowing but undeterred we trundled into the water, no problem there, and made it through safely however we did suffer some water ingress because the water level was up above the door handle on the passenger side!

How can we prevent this ingress as there is a gap on both sides of my 90 where you can see daylight!!! No ammount of adjustment of the doors is going to get rid of it so any suggestions???

How do the military keep water out of their wolf vehicles?

If it's that deep (as in amphibious landings) they don't!
The tail-gate is wedged open , or removed, in order to allow it to 'sink' & retain traction.
Plus they're not worried about carpets, seats, trim, etc........ getting wet

Ok so the milly dont care - or for that matter even have carpets to care about, but i do! i also carry lots of valuable not very waterproof kit on a lot of trips so prefer to keep the water out!!

I thought about expanding foam filler but its not practical for more than one application :p

easy

dont drive in water that is that deep or move everything thats likely to be damaged by water into the roof space

All Landys let water in, i have had my feet completely covered and my spare shoes floating in the passenger footwell.  Its just the way it is.
