you are the top specialist on Fabias, many of your videos helped me out what mechanics left puzzled. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do :-)
Thanks for showing how to solve the problem of water in the footwells. This exactly explains why my rear and front carpets are soaking wet.
No worries, gad to have helped :-)
Oh my got, thank you! It's been leaking for a year now on both doors. Started at the same time. There is a ugly redish stain (I hope it's not corrosion). I will try to fix this when I recover from Covid lol
Thanks, glad the video helped, yep a reddish stain is probably iron deposits, but you sorted it now so no worries, I also had that bug :-)
I'll just say that I discovered your channel to late. Excellent step-by-step repair tutorials.
Thanks, no worries, hope my videos will help entertain you in the future :-)
Great video, easy to follow along with. Found out one of the previous owners of my car tried this but it wasn't done properly and leaked anyway. Hopefully I won't have the issue again now.
It is worth noting that some have also done the front door panels, which I may also do sometime, but for now seem ok. Thanks for watching :-)
It is already 4 years since I have this problem, thank you so much .
Great to hear that, happy motoring :-)
Yep I definitely have this issue, now I know what I need to do I can sort it, thankyou very much 👍
No problem 👍
Thanks i just bought a fabia in summer and now that is winter found out about the problem the best video that i saw about this problem thanks from malta
You are welcome, glad it helped. One last thing to check is the rear washer jet cable joint under the rear C pillar trim. have a look at my video on it: ua-cam.com/video/2nfKzxZUelY/v-deo.html @4:30-
Thanks for all your fabia infos I am not a auto macanic engineer. But by your videos you have made me one.
Thanks a lot
You're very welcome, glad to have helped you takle a few car probs :-)
Just finish doing mine today. Looking forward to a dry Fabia... Thanks for the vid.
Brilliant, easy to follow, methodical video. Many thanks for your time. Just used it.
Brilliant, Hope you get this sorted :-)
My local garage didn't want to do this job, citing brittle plastic on an old car. I used to use strips of thick cloth between the door bottoms and the body, and this seemed to stop a lot of the leakage. Curiously, the problem has stopped now by itself - moss growing on the window seal rubber stops water getting in!
awesome videos, so glad I found this channel after recently purchasing a MK1 FAB VRS 07, some quality of lifes on there I want to do and this channel will definitely help!
Glad my videos help you if and when I can ;-)
very meticulous, very well made but one key issue is missing i think .. its cleaning the debris inside the door, if you look under the door you can see 2 holes where water evacuates .. this is the reason in the first place having aquriums in the doors.
i used a vacuum and tryied cleaning the inside and from outside the evacuation holes as well as i could.
thanks for sharing. cheers.
Yes, good point, thanks for mentioning that as the holes are quite small and as you say should be free of any debris :-)
Brilliant, thanks. I've watched a few videos on the subject and this is the best.
Thank you very much for your brilliant comment, I'm glad to have helped :-)
I've the same problem. Thank you again.
Another great video Harvey - it's being chucking it down here all this week and guess what - my windows are all steaming up! I've done the cabin filter and checked the front scuttle plenum so guess what I'm doing Tommorrow!! Looks like you are predicting what my Fabs is going to do next and put a video up to help me ! You must have a crystal ball !!!! Thanks a mill - Top Man !
Thank you very much for the kind words, glad to have helped. I'm no mystic, just covering some of the Fabia's common issues, but have ordered a wand, cape and pointy hat! :-)
You must be the Russel Grant of the Skoda Fabia !
Oh God Bless you Sir.....I will no longer have frozen hands as I suck out the water with a micro fibre cloth. Will try during the lock in just now
Thanks, It's going to be nice weather so everything will dry out for you, keep safe :-)
@hatboyharvey you're an absolute legend. Fixed so many things on my fabia thanks to you. Discovered white mould in my rear drivers side footwell yesterday and discovered it was soaking wet under the mat. Spent the afternoon trying to work out where it was coming in from and had no luck. Discovered you had a video on it today. Fixed in about 30mins... managed to break most of the door clips in the process but an easy fix ha. Anyways a massive thank you. Sending you a coffee now for the thanks
Well thank you very much for your kind appaisel of my videos, glad they have helped and hope it solves the current issue. There is also a rear jet washer pipe join behind the C pillar that can often leak and run down into the rear left doorwell. I've done a video on that somewhere if you look in the playlist. Mega thanks for the coffee, I needed it this freezing cold wet morning :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey anytime. Thanks for the heads up. I'm trying to dry the footwell out at the moment. Got some kitchen roll wedged where the leak was so I'll keep an eye out. Speaking of the rear washer. You might know what the nozzle for the rear washer size is. I've tried a few from ebay that say it should fit the car but one sprayed right over the car and the others wouldn't fit under the cap. Do you know what specific part it is?
To dry the passenger floor slide the seat as far forward as possible put a shoe box or a cushion between seat & glove box put the heater blower on facing down block or tape over the vent under the steering wheel to get more air on passenger side & heater up
also when locking the car press the lock button twice to stop the red light continuously flashing on drivers door helps with battery when stood for a few days
Great tips :-)
Marvellous video, thank you so much. Saved me going at this like a chimp as I was about to pry off the winding handle! Ace
Thanks, Glad it stopped you messing up your fabia :-)
Thanks mate...about start with tackling mine....surprisingly good little car. Greetings from Portugsl...
Good luck, hope you enjoy your great little Fabia :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Done the two rear doors....didn't break anything, got it all back together easily enough. There was some type of aluminium foil tape stuck across the leaking joint which took a while to remove...obviously previous owner tried a bodge repair. It's now nicely and neatly done with silicone and your video explained everything clearly. Thank again.
Great, hope it does the trick. One last thing to check is the rear washer jet cable joint under the rear C pillar trim. have a look at my video on it: ua-cam.com/video/2nfKzxZUelY/v-deo.html @4:30-
Thank you so much for this video, I've managed to sort out the damp problem, just a bit of further information for you, my 05 mk1 had the metal panels rivited, I removed all but one at the centre top because it is attached to the window mechanism, I used a 6mm drill bit to remove the rivets and bought a rivet gun of amazon for £10.99 that included the required 6.4mm rivits. It's as good as new, I can't thank you enough HH, now I've just got to work out why the front footwells are getting wet.
Yes, later models come with rivets I'm afraid, so many would be put off doing it, maybe they want to deter people from opening up the door panel to fix issues themselves or it is quicker for the robot to rivet the panel on or it guarantees a tight fit as bolts could potentially come loose. All the more important to make sure these bolts (when fitted) are all torqued up evenly :-)
Do you have a link to the rivet gun you purchased on Amazon please as I plan on doing the same next week? Thanks.
@@KeinanMadden www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RLLSPHC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.QX8Eb60QGJFE
You need one with 6.4mm rivits
just found this video! will do this tomorrow!
Great, good luck with it :-)
After watched your video I realized that I have the same issue :( now I need to fix it! Thanks for the beneficial video.
Hope you get to fix this issue, thanx for watching :-)
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it :-)
Great job. You are TOP Man! THANKS A LOT!
I love how you disassemble everything with care and precision. and dont forget the knowledge. my 17-year-old skodia fabia combi is pretty beat up by amateurs who don't have this in them, but do ask for the money. #plastic is not metal handle it with care
Thank you so much for your kind appraisal, means a lot and helps keep me going as I need it right now :-). (Medical issues are getting in the way of my video making!) I think they design plastics more for assembly than disassembly these days and so easily breakable.
@@HatBoyHarvey take good care.
These days if you break some plastic you need a whole new unit of it
@@HatBoyHarvey sory to hear that, hope you've recoverd well
Thanks
Well done - thank you! Particularly suitable if the (device carrier / module) aluminium-panel is riveted and not screwed.
Unfortunately some later model are riveted, bummer, you just have to drill those out and fit thread-rivets so it becomes a bolt-on version.
@@HatBoyHarvey Thank you very much and i do as you described.
@@HatBoyHarveywhat sized threaded rivets should be used? (Skoda Fabia mk1)
Thank god for UA-cam, fantastic video sir
Hope this helped you with your car ;-)
Many thanks for this - a really useful video! Before I tackle the job, can you say where to get hold of the plastic panel clips, just in case I break any?
If you put 6Y0867260 into a search engine there are a number of places they come up, all very cheap or your local motor factors maybe able to get you them quoting the same part number as also the skoda dealer which would be a little more money, but the genuine items:-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks very much.
Thank you. Same problem.
Я все но мог понять, откуда в салоне вода и при этом только сзади. Потеплеет, буду разбирать. Спасибо.
Желаю вам удачи в этом. В феврале слишком холодно, чтобы чинить машину на улице :-)
@HatBoyHarvey hello! Could you please make a video of how to clean the Way of rain under the front window? I guess something stucked inside and I have a lot of steam on the front window!
Ah yes your air vent is probably blocked, I have a video on the removing the scuttle panel to gain access, I'll look into this for a video, thanks :-)
Set screws at 4:32. That’s the engineer in me 😅
I guess rightly so my friend, but then I call EGR valves recycling valves as apposed to re-circulation valves :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Aye. But they are still set screws. And you wouldn’t or shouldn’t call a shovel a spade. It’s just the principal engineer in me you see. And I applied that fix to my Skoda after watching this video. Keep em coming. 👍
Brilliant
Excellent vid. Thanks! What was the tune at the end?
Thanks, music titles in description :-)
Thanks a ton, just fixed mine
Glad it helped :-)
Thanks for this tutorial.
You are very welcome, glad it helped :-)
Just did that like a hour ago. Thanks!
Cool, glad you have managed to do it :-)
cheers mate for the video need to do this fix mine has dun same
thing full of water 💦 😔😉
Hi, my fabia rear drivers side footwell is soaking wet but door card bone dry. Any idea what it could be? Thanks
The door card doesn't necessarily get wet when it leaks into the floor pan. I would do the sealing repair and see what happens, if no luck then it could be coming from the front card as some have had leak there also :-)
very thanks from the netherlands
Any ideas if back door panels are riveted on? We've sealed it all but still leaking but could not get the metal part off with it being riveted xx
Later model fabias had their door panels riveted Inc the rear panel. You may not have sealed the panel enough by sealing on the outside. Also to note; there is a rear jet wash pipe join under 'C' panel that may be leaking also, worth a check
@@HatBoyHarvey AHH ok, thank you xx
Wonderful than u for good inf
My pleasure :-)
Quality Done Harvey Thanks.
You're very welcome :-)
Thanks! Now let's see if it works.
You're very welcome. If it was getting wet after activating the rear jet wash: ua-cam.com/video/2nfKzxZUelY/v-deo.html :-)
Hi mate, I recently found your channel.
I was wondering if you'd know about the mk2 fabia. So there are water drain holes on the bottom of the door. Is it part of the design to have them fill up with water and pour out when doors are opened? Only worried as I've had corroded sill due to it been parked up but now fixed. The water seems to come through the door into inner door but comes out when open
@@Rycka9 this is common on the fabia1 and commonly leaked into the rear footwells. I'm not sure if this was addressed fully on mk2, but my belief is they have. I don't know exactly what they did, but my understanding is water enters via the window seal edges then travel through the door cavity and out through the little slot holes at the bottom of the door which is external to the car. Water will then make it's way out over the sill and can sleep underneath exacerbating the conditions for rust over time. I would make sure these holes are cleaned out for the free run of water. Water shouldn't just escape when you open a door, but seal out continuously. Also examine the top seal and consider replacing.
Thank you for this video. Im in the process of buying a Fabia Mk1 that has some electrical problems. Can this be the reason? Is there a similar water leak problem in the front or from the windshield ? Also can you make a video on how to fix the central locking or at least diagnose any common knows issues ? Great work! Subbed !
Your welcome, Great car, but can have a few electrical issues/glitches. haven't come across water from windshield. It depends what central locking issue, mine sometimes does funny things when stood a long time in damp weather, also worn front door lock micro switch is common. Vid on list :-)
Not sure on the nature of the problem with the central locking.. haven't even got the car yet to investigate. Im thinking like a checklist video, fuses, battery connections, etc... Thanks to your channel I feel like i can almost fix the problem my self and save a trip to the shop. Almost :D
P.S. "You're"
It is always that more satisfying to be able to fix stuff yourself in my
opinion, saves money that you may need for a job you can't do yourself and you know exactly what has been done to your ride :-)yes you're not your, always doing that sorry :-(
I reckon water gets in the driver's door through the window seal and damages the central locking module inside the door - it used to click the locks repeatedly or open the windows in wet weather. The cheap 'temporary' solution was to remove the fuse to the central locking, the doors still lock manually.
Thank you brilliant 👍
You're very welcome :-)
Thanks for awesome tutorial. I have just done this repair following your steps and its all done. Hope, its fixed.
Please, Is this repair also needed on front doors? Because i think I have in my skoda fabia sometimes few water drops on the inner side.
Yes, I've heard that the fronts can get wet also, but not as bad. Also one thing to note is; behind the nearside C pillar panel is a connection to the rear wiper jet which also can leak. have a look at my video on it: ua-cam.com/video/2nfKzxZUelY/v-deo.html
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks, I will check it, but I dont think so its my problem. I think, I would smell windshield washer fluid.
Thank you for the information - really nicely portrayed as always :)
Are there any drain holes in the bottom of the door? It seems to me that the rain is getting in at the top and must be filling the door itself to then leak out of the seal behind the door card. How does it ever drain?
Previous cars (nissan/toyota) have had a little hole at the bottom of the door for any rain to leak out of. Would it be an entirely crazy idea to drill a small hole?
Thanks, you're welcome. There are drain holes underneath the rear door edge on the very outside edge of the sill :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Massive thanks for the heads up - I'll have to have another look as I couldn't see them on my car or on your video. Bathtub sealant it is then =)
@@HatBoyHarvey merhabalar yapıştırıcıyı gördüğüm kadarıyla hertarafına uygulamamamışsın sadece alt kısıma uygulamak yeterlimi. Yoksa çevresini tamamen yapıştırıcıyla kapamalımıyız
@@ye427 benim anladığım en alt kısımda su tahliye delikleri var ancak bir şekilde iç tarafa kenarlardan geliyor. Bunun için en iyisi komple sızdırmaz yapmak. Sadece alt kısım yetmeyebilir.
Hello my friend thnx for the video but today in the morning i just go in my fabia and two window dont open electric from my side and pasanger side ...another hand everything work ..? What do you think ?
Hi, Window switches can become temperamental after long time use.
Before replacing have a look at their connections inside each handle :-)
Hello my friend... when I remove fus and re-put again works good for 10 minut or 15 after that does not work again ...
What do you think to change fuse or to reset batery or i dont know ?
Thank you for your time .
My guess is loose/broken wire fault or connections or
switches. Try new fuses. Have you tried holding the driver’s side open button
up for 3 seconds when closed? Is the battery good/ground? disconnect/reconnect
bat. Are windows running clean/easy? If opening and closing doors effect
operation then broken wires going into door. I would also check Connections to convenience
module. Convenience module fault? Hope this helps :-)
Could I drill holes in the bottom of the door instead? I can buy a new door if it ever begins to rust around the drill holes.
You could, but there are already holes there. You have to bend down a lot to see them under the rim edge. Whatever holes there are, water has to drip off the door vertically down. When there is light rain water ingress, water will creep horizontally, hence why the fabia's drain holes are positioned where they are, on this edge :-)
Alright mate doing this our self’s just now we’ve drilled out the Rivets but what bolts did you use to put it back together to re secure it? Cheers
inner panel fixings:
My car uses M6 threaded bolts with a 10mm head x 10mm thread length. I would recommend using steel rivnuts. Be careful taking rivets out; don't enlarge the hole.
Thanks hatboy
Only today we found our Skoda had steamed up rear windows, wet carpet and door panels. (Only had the car two weeks) so now I know where the problem lies. Do the doors not have drain holes then?? Thanks for posting
Yes they do have drain holes, but unfortunately they don't help as water seams to collect and soak into the foam seal around the perimeter of the metal carrier somehow and then onto the bottom of the fabric panel and across the rubber door seal.
@@HatBoyHarveyOk.. I may use some foam rubber strip I have in stock. It sealed the leak around the Corsa relay box. Ta
Quick question - is there a way for the water to drain out of the door once the leak is sealed?
Doesn't it keep collecting there since it's found a way to get in?
Obviously it's has worked for you for a long time so I'm going to do it too. Thanks for sharing the fix!
I keep getting asked this, no worries the water doesn't collect as there are slot holes under the bottom of the door on the edge :-)
hi, do you have a video or guide on how to run a cable from the fuse box through the firewall of a fabia 2010 mk2
I don't know where on the Mk2, but Mk1 you can go through behind the glovebox to a grommet near scuttle panel.
Hey all, this may be a silly question. What size panel clips do i need to get?
6Y0867260
Here's a link: amzn.to/3GZ0T5s
@@HatBoyHarvey thanks 🙌🏽
Many thanks, I've got the same problem. However I do have a question: if you seal up the bottom of the door, doesn't the door just fill up with water as I can't see any drain holes in the bottom of my car door?
If you look right underneath the door on the metal part there are 2 small drain holes, which need to be kept clear :-)
very nice thank you
You're very welcome, hope it helped :-)
Ive got my door card loosly attatched at the top now ready to put some silicone in tomorow, but if the water is still leaking in between the door and inner panel will it not build up a pool and steam up still?
You need to thoroughly dry everthing out first so the silicone will seal between the panel and the door (best done in summer or /garage/heater/hair dryer). I removed my soden seal and replaced with a bead of silicone /dried/re-seal and a cover bead od silicon. Video from 6:50 onward. If you're worried about water bridging over the door seal also, clean it well with soapy water and where it meets the the door or replace it. Hope this helps :-)
I have this issue but your solution won’t help me as my electric windows are being effected. I need to address the leaking seal
I am gonna do this, the situation goes worse and worse! Harvey I have a question. I might have missed maybe, after we do this, where the rain will go? Where will it exit?
Out of the drain holes under the bottom of the door :-)
Mine is in the front of the passenger seat in my car but poured water over the top of my car and sat in the car and no water dripped trough
Does the water not now just get stuck inside the door? Or is there another route for it to escape?
Good question; there are 2 small holes under the bottom of the door lip. I have never noticed any sloshing about of water, so the holes don't seem to get blocked. Another theory of mine is water may get in by capillary action from pooling at the bottom of the body door sill and touching the inner panel past the door seal, but I didn't dare say that in the video as it sounds like i have too much time to think of such things. Anyway the fix seems to work, so no worries, happy days :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey thanks for the reply. I did this on mine yesterday on my MK1 Fabia so hoping it works. Thanks again
I thought exactly the same, any information out there as to whether this happens? Or, Josh Watton if you wouldn't mind - any updates after fixing yours? Cheers 👍
Does anyone know we're I would get a back door bodywork seal
Skoda Fabia estate 800 2003.?
Just wondering i have rivets can't get into it take foam out will it still work without removing it and does it matter what silcone you use ?
You could just cover over the top of the seal area with silicon (any will do) but it is best to be able to lift the panel so new silicon can sandwich in-between the gap for a better seal. It is a bit of a pain with the rivet true, but you can drill these out and then fit aftermarket 'RIVNUTS' (no special tools needed to fit) that then will use bolts.
@HatBoyHarvey do you know roughly what size of rivit nuts i would need for this
If you seal the bottom of door where does the water go. Does it sit in the door?
If you look right underneath the door you will see that there are some small holes for the water to drain out. Obviously these should not be blocked, but you can easily tell as you can hear water swishing about inside the doors when opening/closing them :-)
Thank you for this video. Any suggestions on a good sealant to use please?
Thanks, I used silicone sealant with fungicide, same stuff you use around windows, but not the ordinary flexable type as these will crack with all the movement :-)

Hi and thanks for your informative video, I have just tried this but found my inner panel seems to be held on by rivets , it's a MK1 Fabia .. any ideas ? Thanks Carl
Carefully drill the rivets out and fit rivnuts instead making life easier, happy days :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey do you think you could get away with just silicone of the join on the riveted ones?
Unless you could dry the seal out fully I doubt it would last before leaking again, but you could try it and see, nothing to loose really as it's all relatively hidden.
Hi, do you think the problem has caused from the window seal at the base of the window at 0.43 min. in the video? Thanks.
Yes , It iw caused by that seal wearing out overtime .
Hi, I have an Octavia 1.9TDI estate 2003 with the same problem. A new electric window windings motor was installed a few years ago & may have been the cause (thin plastic membrane had to be torn to get to the motor but not replaced). If water does get in the door panel & if sealed where does the water go? I can't see any drain holes to allow water to get out.
Probably right in suspecting the plastic membrane. Holes are underneath the door seam. A light and mirror may help you see the small slots.
@@HatBoyHarvey After removing interior bits from door panel it was found (after testing) water was coming in through the door but originating at the bottom of the electric window. Car is old so I could just reseal door panel. Ideally, it is best to fix window seal. Your video just shows how to fix the leak but not the cause of the leak. Any ideas? Just fix leak by stopping water coming into car o/and fix cause of leak?
I show in the video where I think the water gets into the panel by the window felt seam, from there is seeps down and soaks into the foam seal. You maybe able to get a new window felt lined trim from a dealer, but as this problem is common a new one will most likely fail again sometime in the future. Maybe something can be done to the trim to rejuvenate it, but I don't know how - yet.
👍👍👍
I just started to do the same process on my mk1 Fabia on both rear doors. It took me two hours to get one of the inner panels off. Those panel clips were really putting up a fight. Unfortunately, my metal inner panel is riveted and I don't have the tools to drill them off and replace them with screws. My question is, is it enough if I let it dry for a bit and then put silicone around it without taking down the inner panel?
And again, your channel is really useful! Thanks for doing this! :)
If you can squeeze some into the gap, or pry a gap it MAY work for a bit, but would need to be sure it is super dry as the seal sucks up water like a sponge and will be very difficult to get dry properly.
@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks, Harvey! I will try my best to squeeze some silicone in there but it seems impossible. It's riveted pretty tight. The seal is sure soaking wet. Are there any holes at the bottom of the door where the water can drain out? There should be some but I couldn't find it.
Yes, there are holes under the door edge, you just need a second look :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey I'm thinking about washing the side panels under the shower with soapy water. They look pretty dirty and it seems they made out of fiberglass. Do you have any experience cleaning them?
Hiya chap thanks for the video. My carpet isn't damp I've actually got a puddle in the back of the car haha is that a different issue? Do you think just drilling more holes would have the same effect? Thanks.
Water doesn't seem to collect in the door so the holes are doing their job, it seems that water seeps onto the foam seal somehow and bridges via the innner panel.
@@HatBoyHarvey ahh ok thanks for the reply I'll get it done over the weekend and give you a bell if it solves the issue.
Great video there!!! I bought fabia combi 1.4 75 hp 2005 a few months ago and the car is just simply amaizing. I noticed that isssue with the same door side. I just put some towels temorarry just next to the door sealing, because the winter just came and at this point i wont be able to repair it. Well i thought about the window sealing. If the issue is there would you recomend me to change it? On a first sight i dont see any damage on it, as i dont see either on yours.
If i put this silicone only on the metal side door panel i think that the water will keep on getting inside and will stay there, eventually causing some rust. Can you advice me something? Cheers and thanks again!
Sorry that I repeat the question. I saw a fellow that ask the same below in a comment seciton. There are actually drain holes which is great! Cheers!
Yes, these drain holes are easily missed as they are right under the lip of the bottom skin, but they only stop the door filling up with water. The water drips onto the inner panel seal from the inside and seeps through onto the door trim panel bridging the actual rubber door seal. That is my take on it anyway :-)
Thanks m8
No problem :-)
Great video! that happens on all mk1 fabia models? Thanks!
Great minds think alike :-) did they sort it on the MK2? I'm not sure.
Hi, I did this with Silicon around 6 months ago and it seemed ok. Last week though drenched again. The old silicon looks good so I’m not convinced this is the problem??? I’m thinking now rear washer fluid? Anyone else found a different fix??
Have a look at this for rear jet washer pipe, which also could account for the sudden flood: ua-cam.com/video/2nfKzxZUelY/v-deo.html :-)

How do you dismantle the inner metal panel?
Similar to front. Remove the window glass first, But has pegs, not clamps. ua-cam.com/video/Nhl3MeOlPTw/v-deo.html I will do a video of this at some stage :-)
There is no 10mm bolts holding metal pannel though..
later models come with rivets, which need drilling out and either replacing with more rivets or installing RIVNUTS and retro-fitting bolts for ease of service :-)
Do you know which size of rivnuts will fit?
My car uses M6 threaded bolts with a 10mm head x 10mm thread length. I would recommend using steel rivnut preferred. Be careful taking rivets out
I tried to mount a m6 rivnut but it doesnt fit, how did you do? @@HatBoyHarvey
@@mohamedrhordo5344 in what way does it not fit?
Hi someone would you explain what you did to eliminate the error?
It doesn't seem possible to eliminate water entering the door from the top seals and collecting on the inner panel lower seams.
@@HatBoyHarvey then very nothing can be done for her.
Thank you very much for the help
i’ve got a rear door window to replace, my bolts are rivets, any tips on how i should go about replacing the window?
Yes, later models unfortunately came with riveted panels (why?). These
are large 6.4mm rivets that you will have to drill out. Once the panel is off,
the window mech can be accessed to replace the window. Given the large size of the rivets, another means of fixing them securely back into place would probably be easier. Maybe you could drill new holes to the side, seal the original holes with rubber grommets and use smaller rivets.
HatBoyHarvey Thanks for the reply! do you reckon i could just swap them for nuts or something?
If you swapped them for bolts I don't think they would be secure enough as there is no tread/nut on the other end other than the thickness of the door metal to tap into :-)
any tips on how to get a window in the rear passenger door? i’m stuck and not sure lol
Sorry I haven't done this on the rear window, but will look into doing a video on it. How far have you got?
HatBoyHarvey got the metal plate taken off, just can’t for the life of me work out how to get the window in the frame
Algún video relacionado con la bomba electrohidraulica cuando no trabaja el porque
lo siento, ya no. Al reemplazarlo, hay que coincidir el código con el automóvil :-)
so will the door just fill up with water after doing this?
nup, the water exits at the bottom of the door. If you bend down to have a look close to the seam there are two (if I remember right) slotts for the water to run out.:-)
@@HatBoyHarvey well that's good then. I'll give it a go if the '07 i just bought gives me trouble. The dealer said it didn't get wet but I noticed what appeared to be dried dust marks around the edges of the rear door armrests. Bought the car anyway because it's easy enough after watching your videos. I also was much better prepared to assess the car after finding your channel, thanks so much!
@@Rareos No worries, thanks for watching :-)
They’re set screws. Not bolts 😀
Yes absolutely :-)
I have a mk 1 octavia and it has plastic film(moisture barier) over the door(even worse than the fabia) and it is one of the worst desing ever.
Jaką masę zastosować ?
silikon
@@HatBoyHarvey Mam pytanie jeszcze jedno co staje się z wodą która została zaklejona silikonem? I jak ona się tam znajduję?
Pod drzwiami znajdują się dwa otwory, przez które woda wypływa
@@HatBoyHarvey Jak się rzekomo to zaklei te otwory woda w drzwiach nie zostaje która wpłynie? bo wtedy drzwi spuchną :/
