Stop water getting in cab doors (seat belt mounts)

Evening all,

I’ve got Pumpkin out of winter storage, serviced and MOT’d him and we are planning on spending our weekend away in him for the first time, I’m excited and nervous.

Tonight he’s got wet for the first time since I’ve had him as the bank holiday weather sets in.
I’ve noticed when opening the drivers door that water is getting in and pooling around the seatbelt mount. As I don’t fancy having the seatbelt mounts rot out I’m looking for a cure.

I’ve realised the doors don’t have drainage holes or the membrane so will be replacing that soon and drilling some holes and then waxoyl’ing the doors but is there anything else I can do?

Below is a couple of photos.





Thanks for any help.

 

It's running down the glass and through the door,you need the polythene sheet thing in the door and a drain hole at the lowest point

 

In the meantime stuff a towel by the door

 

Which is that pedal lock and how do you rate it?

 

^this. It’s splashing through the door vents. They should have a plastic membrane behind them.

 

Or an old pair of Y-Fronts?

 

Got pair of these ? £3 to cover post n pack if anyone needs them .( these are now taken )

 

It’s the safe t pedal.
I’ve only had it a couple of days but am pleased with it.

It’s a bit heavy and bulky but seems easy to fit and adds to the security.
It’s quite pricey but I got a 10% discount from JK as am insured with them.

 

Excellent, thank you. In that case I will be replacing the plastic membrane ASAP.

 

I'd say your door has an enlarged prostate.

 

Are they Tena-men pull-ups?

Asking for a friend...............

 

The things we save for a rainy day

 

DONT drill any holes in the door, spray some Dynax s50 in there once dry and the cards are off. The only drain holes there should be are by the step. If yours have rust holes underneath anywhere else it will leak out in the van no matter what you do.

 

@Barry Haynes ,quick as a sharp thing send him your old grundies

 

I’ll get them sent out tomorrow, You might want to rinse them out first though

 

I meant soak the water up, not take the paint off...

 

works for me

 

Good god man how long have you been wearing those,not two hours again
