You could try running a little sealer behind it in the area where it's directly leaking from.

A window seal or door seal may not be water tight or the window is not fully closed.Carefully check the rubber seals for any signs of deterioration.

Weird my phone didn't bring that up!! Sorry missed it. Thanks redshank. I've noticed another fault with my Primera today..unsure how its happened but anyones opinion would be appreciated.Well took the car to have it washed and notice the water was rushing through one panel. The driver side rear door, well if water comes in near the window it leaks straight through the panel..All the way to underneath the vehicle..any ideas on how this happens and if its a easy job to fix?

okay haven't managed to find any reconditioned calipers on eBay? I need it for drivers side rear, as that the caliper that binding.
I'll ask this mechanic if he does rust work and if he does i'll ask him to treat it. All he did was looked underneath at that rad support panel and he said yeah i can see its peeling and is rusting but I wouldn't worry about changing it yet. I'm sure rust proofing it isn't a big job so hopefully he won't charge me much more

+1 on the recon caliper...a recon caliper is likely to last a long time before any problems start with it.But if you chance getting a used caliper then you should properly clean it up or you're more likely to have a problem with it sooner or later.
As for the rad support,completely remove any rust first then treat with kurust etc,then prime/paint ie topcoat and finish off with underseal etc.

Don't get caliper repair kit or second hand caliper get a reconditioned caliper . The ideal thing to do with the radiator support panel would be to rustproof it but otherwise leave it until it has to be replaced. You don't know if you'll need to replace it. |
