Water poring out after rain showers + abs light on

Post by DaveImok »

Hi I'm new, just purchased my second blue mr2 1997 T-bar uk model after I had withdrawal symptoms when my last beloved 1991 red one needed £500 of welding to get through the mot so I just sold it to a friend for scrap.

Anyway with this one I notice water poring out of the bottom front right drivers door or rubber & to a lesser extent the passengers door when I open them after a shower

Do you know if it is normal or where I start to look for how it's getting in?

The abs light also came on only 5 miles after I picked it up & the previous owner said he saw it to but it went away after he topped up the brake fluid.
Any upon further investigation using the diagnostic paperclip method I get a 35 error code - the rear drivers sensor also meters open circuit at the plug. if anyone knows where I can get one or if they are easy to get out as I hear they get stuck in or break off!

Water is getting into the door through the gap between the weatherstrip and the glass. It may be possible to adjust the glass to stop it but I wouldnt bother - the door has drain holes in it anyway as you have discovered :thumleft:
