Drying out sound proofing
bensonsnuts:
I have no carpets......just earmuffs :lol:
Last time I had water inside, it was up to the base of the seats before I was pulled out :oops:
It caused no probs apart from the rubber around the transmission tunnel .
Took absolutely weeks for that to dry........Thanks LR for fitting a f***ing great sponge inside the colander you call the Discovery :twisted:

That would be a serious case of 'rising damp' then . . . . .
Bleedin' nightmare plugging up a disco . . . . . but hey!!! . . . if you cured all the leaks the truck would probably float away down the river :lol:
Lewis Bernard:
yep out and drying.
there is a small patch of surface rust on the floor of the drivers footwell - best way of cleaning it up - ?
wirebrush/wool it down clean up, re spray with primer and a top coat? be under the carpet so doesnt matter what colour.
correct me if i am wrong!
i am obviously not one to mix with water!
I spent hours sorting out my 2x leaky sunroofs. it is a collinder! removed headlining and both sunroofs, cleaned and re-sealed up. hasnt leaked since even with the masses of rain we've been having in plymouth.
then after a stone put a hole in my windscreen auto galss, the jobsworths, put a new screen in and didnt seal the top in correctly, water just rained in through the top seal!
Tyke:
You got it mate . . . . rub down to clean bare metal, prime with something like zinc phosphate and then give it a coat of decent underseal type stuff . . . doesn't matter if it's under the carpets.
Try to identify the source of the leaks though rather than doing ongoing repairs . . . . :wink:
Give the whole truck a good 'airing' by pulling up the carpets when you've been wading and you're getting on the right track.
High maintenance vehicles if you use them mate and that doesn't just mean changing the oils :wink:
Lewis Bernard:
so i have noticed! cheers for the advice anyway guys! does anyone know if the screw holes (for the plastic trim to keep the carpets in on the sil) usually leak?
