Shell’s Mk2 May 17, 2020, 08:01:54 PM Purchased Jun 2019, first outing was the 2019 National Meet.SORN in Oct and shortly after developed a water leak sunroof wasn’t flush. Seats growing mould, headliner down at the back, mopping water out every few weeks. I lost faith, she sat gathering dust with a tarpaulin over her.Today, with the idea of watching some footage and reading the forum I went out, accidentally moved back the headliner part of the sunroof to find a screw loose, it was out the bracket on the sunroof, screwed that back in, sunroof now sits flush, so for the past 3 hours she has been cleaned in and out, feeling quite proud now. So her she is [attachment deleted by admin due to attachment age]

Re: Shell’s Mk2 Reply #9 – May 18, 2020, 09:46:58 PM Is the leak definitely from you having a "screw loose"? Mine was from the fresh air intake not being sealed properly in the bulkhead. Last Edit: May 18, 2020, 09:51:05 PM by AndyBa
