What's involved
What this repair actually is.
A technician runs controlled water and trace testing around your glass, moldings, sunroof drains, and body seams to pinpoint the entry path, which is often far from where the water shows up inside. You get a clear finding of the leak source and a written repair recommendation. The diagnostic fee covers the testing and identification only.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Wet carpet or damp floor mats after rain
- Water dripping from the headliner or A-pillar
- Musty or moldy smell inside the car
- Fogged-up windows that never fully clear
- Water pooling in the trunk or spare tire well
- Drips near the rearview mirror or sunroof
If you delay
Untreated leaks lead to mold, odors, corroded wiring, and rusted floor pans that cost far more to repair than the leak itself.
