Hi
While fitting a Sterling B2B the other day, I noticed that insulation under the cab plastic matting was wet. I noticed this while I had the engine battery cover off - you could see the wetness in the foam. The insulation is for sound-proofing rather than heat retention - its the green speckled stuff.
Anyone got any idea's where this might be coming from? I have a few ideas:
- Condensation running off the inside of the windscreen down the back of the dash and into the floor
- Poor sealing around a wheel arch meaning that driving in wet weather forces water inside
- From the void under the wiper motor?
- From the heater matrix
Van has no air-con so its not condensation coming off the air-con pipes.
Anyone else suffered similar and located the source?
