These are excellent videos big fella. Clear video, well presented. Invaluable for me and my new mk2 TT.

Thank you very much! It's good to know people are enjoying them!

Young David, absolutely brilliant demonstration of how to fix what must affect all of us TT owners out there. Spooky, as only the other day I cleaned out my front drains below the windscreen, but I had not seen this fantastic video and I was not brave enough or had the knowledge to remove the scuttle panel so I only took out the two left hand screw bolts and slipped my hand in and pulled out so much...erm...grit, yes grit, moss and leaves I was amazed at the volume from such a small place, I did both sides and probably a good cup full from each, then with my hose turned down I let water trickle in, then low and behold...a good run of water behind the wheel arch, perfect, but it would have been so much easier using your method. Then to the boot, as I have a little water sitting around the battery whenever it rains hard...not sure I am confident to do what you have done. In the meantime, I just wanted to thank you for your approach and attention to detail when explaining the processes you have covered, easy to follow, well done you! (In case I get the confidence to do the 'rear' what is the name of the silicon you use, many thank, Derek)

Thank you very much!👍🏻 It's crazy how much can get blocked in such a little space, and how negatively it can effect the car😬 Fair play to you for doing it the way you did though, you still managed to sort it and I'm sure your car will thank you for it👌🏻 I just used some black silicone from Halfords, but any silicone sealant will do really. You could also use clear silicone if your worried about how it may look.

Thanks again👍 problem solved. MK3 same as MK2. I used a 7.5mm rubber cord as a sealing cord. A bit thicker but still works. 6.5mm would be better. Tested last night in the rain and this morning totally dry inside. Now can install the new plate light 😄.

In only 1 video everything i needed to know and fix my issue's, like passenger door actuator cleaning all the drainer and stop water inside my car. Thank you

I'm doing this tomoz, weather permitting. Foggy windows, slightly damp passenger carpet, no smell tho. Plus my brake light strip died two days ago. You've nailed it all in one vid. Nice one

There's quite a few videos out there on door card removal, this is by far the best, and it warrants its own video separate to water leaks. Thank you.

My good man! If what you are saying does not make "any cents", the person should not do any type of automotive maintenance! Good video.

The proper way of removing the window wipers is to put your window wipers in service mode, by using the button under the right stalk. Once there in service mode they will go to the up position. Now you need to get some tape and mark the position on the window screen before you remove your window wipers. If you don't do it you will have a nightmare of a time when you put the wipers back on getting the position right.

I know you have to do that to replace the wiper blades so they don't hit the bonnet and scratch your paint, but I didn't know the same process applies when removing the arms. Thanks for the heads up and I'll remember that for next time!👍🏻

Thanks for this video. Water in both footwells and heavy condensation so ill be running through these fixes tomorrow.

Thanks for this video. Im wondering if one can simply just dump those front plastic windscreen drain holes “cover” , seems like its just very easy to get blocked up again?

No Problem! I did consider this myself but I'm not 100% sure, so I just left them in.

Thanks for this detailed video 👍🏻👍🏻 random question, how do you find a suitable height for that two rear boot rubber damper that’s rotatable? 30:08

@day_dobbie

4 ай бұрын

I would close the boot, check to see if it's higher or lower than the bodyside and adjust accordingly. I haven't needed to adjust mine yet. Also, if you can wiggle your boot up and down slightly while it is locked, it may be worth extending these stops slightly to prevent it. The only way I know of is trial and error really. .

Excellent work.. well presented, you didn’t miss out the nitty gritty details, which others wizz pass. Just a bit advice. 1/ Wiper arms , have patience when removing them , re grease for future removal. 2/ scuttle panel, easy to snap take it easy. 3/ I removed wheels, dropped the inner arch plastic cover. You see the shit collecting in the recesses.. I used elbow grease chemical, and a brush then jet washed it from top to bottom Looked brand new after. Just to say.. brilliant video mate keep it genuine like your doing

Yeah, water leaks can be a real pain on these cars🙃

Me again. Just a quick question. When you applied the sealant on the spoiler did you wait for it to dry it up and then put the spoiler back or you put it back on while the sealant was still wet/fresh? TIA

@day_dobbie

Hi again👋🏻 I put it on when the sealer was wet to allow ot to bond to both the car and the spoiler👍🏻

Did you solve your wet carpets? My passenger footwell on my 08 Roadster is driving me nuts....

@day_dobbie

I did. I think it was a mix of blocked drains, but also a breached windscreen. My windscreen had come away slightly and was letting loads of water into the car!

Is it just me who can't get the wipers off. They are siezed

Mine were pretty tight the first time I took them off! But they will come eventually, try some penetrating oil (WD-40)
