Sandra Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 We too, have the same problem. Look forward to hearing from others to see if there is a way to solve this problem. We thought the water may be coming through the rubber seals. look forward to some replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Slaters Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 If you mean the very front boots (where the batteries are kept) we are also experiencing this problem after all the rain. We presume that because they lean that the channels get full and overflow into this area. Just pulled out 3 very soggy towels. Anyone come up with a solution we are all ears??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormondo Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 OK so I have found a supposed fix from another forum which I am probably going to try it includes nicking out the rubber seal in 2 places per door to line up with the door drain holes on the bottom edge attached are the photos the writer provided 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolley Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I solved that problem on my TE some time ago. The black rubber seal around all the latches was perishing and cracking. I enquired about purchasing replacement black seals. I found i had to purchase a whole new latch. So, I removed all the latches and then all the black seals. Cleaned all the black seals off all surfaces. Then simply used clear silicon and replaced the latches. Worked perfectly. No more leaks. I will be at the van later today and I will take a photo and post it here. It really is a simple fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
