RumbleRex Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Greetings to everyone, The owner possesses a 2016 Range Rover Evoque. The passenger footwell has been damp for an extended period; however, she contacted me to inspect her vehicle during the recent downpour. I observed that water was dripping from the junction of the headlining and the A-pillar, likely causing the moisture in the passenger footwell. It lacks a sunroof, and the door seals seem to be intact; moreover, it would be peculiar for water to infiltrate the door seal but leak from an alternate location. Are there any recommendations for potentially obstructed drain holes or prevalent concerns that might lead to this problem? Thank you in advance.

Hypabl Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Obstructed drains behind the windshield scuttle panel. Extremely prevalent. Remove the foliage and detritus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRex Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 Ah, wonderful. Hopefully, this is the issue. I will disassemble it tomorrow and do a thorough cleaning. I began researching, and many individuals mention a leaky windshield, however it seems to be mostly in the vicinity of the rearview mirror.

Hypabl Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 A thorough cleaning is the optimal first step. A leak near the mirror is far more prevalent. Wishing you success with it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHawk47 Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 My MY2020 exhibited a leak of around 20cm from the driver's side A-pillar. Best of luck with the repairs. Some minor windshield installers will reinstall the original screen. The larger corporations will just replace the whole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
