- Does your car smell damp, or even mouldy? Don't overlook it- it's probably not just you! Today I will walk you through how I resolved that damp, mouldy smell from my Landcruiser.
Common symptoms that your windscreen is leaking, causing dampness in your car:
-Smells damp after being shut up for extended periods of time
-Windows form condensation on warm days
-Water in foot wells
-Water under rubber mats
-Damp carpet in your car

Does anyone know if this is a problem for 70 series Cruisers?
Mine in particular is a 2010 76 series. Does not have a damp smell.
But if you leave the car standing for a few days it has a strong industrial smell. 😳
My Dad reckons it's only the materials and glue that Toyota used that makes the car smell that way. He had a 79 series as a company car and he thought it was only his one that smelled like that. 🤪
(The 79 series also had a lot of previous users)
Wish I could help dude but a 70 series very nice I’ve got a shitty Hilux build 😂 on me channel
instaBlaster.
That industrial smell are VOC’s, don’t breathe it in!
Awesome mate. As soon as summer kicks in my 105 windscreen is coming out. Fixing the small amounts of rust and no more bloody wet floor mats in winter. Had my old girl for 20 years just cant part with her . Cheers
B. D They become part of the family after a while 😂 I couldn’t ever part with mine either. The rust does creep up on you though, and it’s important to keep an eye on that rust around the windscreen! As you said it soon creates leaks
👍 after having the after market turbo installed are you considering beefing up the gearbox?
B. D Not at this point in time. There’s a few things I’d like to do first. Considering I’m not making excessive power, I don’t personally see it as necessary at this point in time, but if I ever noticed problems then I would definitely get around to that
Ill stay tuned mate and really enjoying channel. These Toyotas weren't made to throw away after 300k like most of the new ones. I lov reliability when in the middle of nowhere. Take care 👍
B. D Cheers for that mate! Couldn’t agree more. Nothing really compares 👍👍
I hope this helps , rain got into a friends car and it’s so putrid.
Should have named this video differently. Thought you didn’t do a carpet removal 🙄🙄
Another spot to check it where the roof rack mount holes are in the roof are not rusted or missing bolts with fibre washers
yeh my dad and i just finished fixing the rack mount holes
Step one: get a new car
😂😂😂😂😂
that exsplains the rust hole in the floor of our 105 series, thankfully it is the base model so no carpet just vinal
fantastic video
Umm yea the title is a bit misleading...
thanks. helpful
Hey mate, love the vid. If you dont mind me asking how much did the whole windscreen replacement cost?
No worries mate! The windscreen replacement was a bit over $500. One of the best things I’ve done to that cruiser!
Cheers mate, might have to get it done as well 👍
@@balintboda4970 Makes the vehicle so much nicer to be in when it’s all clean and dry! Hope it goes well for you mate
Hi mate, why did you replace the windschield? It was not broken yet.
Why did you replace it?
@@h4wkッwhy not just seal it
Don't know what it is with the 100s but rust in the window frame is very common
I’ve heard this a lot, which is exactly why I decided to make a video about it. Real shame but the new window was applied way better than the old one would have been so it shouldn’t be a problem again!
Thanks will will never use this 😂 or just get you to do it for me 😂
Mate what did you not fix the rust before the screen went back in?
Ran over it with a wire brush wheel and put a good zinc primer on there. The rust that was left really didn’t interfere with the windscreen. I had a complete cut and polish done recently that touched up the rust spots on top of the windscreen. Should be sweet now
@@WillsLandcruiser I only ask as i have a hdj105 which had no signs of rust. Windscreen removal showed some similar bubbles to yours which i had fixed and repainted. I was burnt on a patrol in the past which over 2 years rusted away completely after a dodgy windscreen install where they scratched painwork and did not treat it.
@@dancotter7050 I didn’t have a lot of say in the replacement as I was paying them to do the job to the quality they would on any other windscreen. I do have confidence in the way they treated the rust and the way it was resealed though. There was a fair bit of work that went into the rust off camera, and everything under the seal was wire brushed, treated and sealed to a high quality. The rust further up the windscreen was really just from stone chips and this was treated at my recent cut and polish touch up. It definitely could have all been treated at the same time, but as you can imagine, I didn’t expect the mechanics to go all out on rust repair and repainted unless I was prepared to spend thousands
How much did the new carpet cost mate, was it genuine
It was about $500 from a Melbourne company called All Car Carpets. Not genuine but it was moulded in some places. Took a bit of cutting to shape but in the end it came up really tidy! I have a video on the carpet install too
@@WillsLandcruiser cheers mate looks great, i have a 100 series V8 it has a noticeable miss, i have changed the 4 oxygen sensors and still not good so i think i will try the coil packs, have a great day champ
This doesn’t teach you how to clean gross carpets at all you should rename this
I replaced the carpet in another video. Worth a suss
