Chasing leaks - water in the A-post!

Seasons Greetings

 

I seem to have caught the worst of the leaks in the Herald, namely the windscreen although there is still a tiny weap, how the heck does it do it!

 

However, when it hammers down, I've had some water on the floor (front carpets out while it's leaking) both sides that has come from INSIDE the A-post.

Currently, I can't work out how the heck it's geting in there.

I do know thers a little leak from the washer jets and probably the wipers, but I can't see how water could get from either to inside the A-posts? It should just drip straight down.

The only thing that's just struck me, could water be getting between the A-post and the door and then getting inside the pilar through the hinges somehow?

 

Or are the A-posts hollow up to the top and open to the headlining?

Hello 

The leak could be on the windscreen frame between the rain gutter channel and the frame, it only takes a pin hole.  It is a rust and moisture trap.  You could try sealing it with windscreen sealant or better still remove the drainage channel

repair the windscreen frame and pop rivet a new channel on the plenty of seam sealer. (As on Stag's) You won't see the rivets when all the rubber seals are fitted.

Hope this helps!
