Major Roof Leak. Sploshy Feet. Help!?

Post by Haharr » Sun Jun 26, 2016 9:50 am

Hi all. I have a NC that's leaking like a sieve. It's all collecting in a sploshy puddle in the passenger side footwell. I can scoop out the water using a cup! The roof isn't damaged (minor crack). What / how would you recommend doing for repairs? (Had it 3 weeks. Previous owner had used pipe cleaners for rain overflow pipes).

KBB Music in Epsom has 1m long trombone cleaners for $16. Gave that a go...but to my disappointment, no sudden gush of water when poking the cleaners thru each side's drain hole. Meanwhile, awaiting some decent weather before plugging up a fan heater and aiming it at the floor.

Where/how is it parked? On an incline? If so try and park in a different location (flat) or try parking the other direction.
