MG MGF Technical - leaking problem
| good day all it has just rained cats and dogs here in Bermuda and when i got in the car this morning the left door speaker grille was soaked as well as a trail of water from the mirror is this a DIY fix or back to the garage any help very much appreciated. also this maybe a stupid question but can anyone tell me what the button next to A/C button is used for the one with the circling arrows thanks Luis Pereira |

| >A/C button is used for the one with the circling arrows They are both Air con buttons, the iceicle is the cooling button, the arrows are re-circulation buttons(draw air from car not outside). Have a look at dieters site for adjustment, it isn't very easy, I would take it to the dealer if the car is quite new (within warrenty) Will |

| thanks will i'll take it to the shop the f is still under warranty thank goodness for that Luis |

| Luis, If the 'shop' can't fix it get then to look at Dieter's site http://www.lame-delegation.de/mgf-net.de/index.htm 'Fenster Justage/ Window Adjust' HTH Bruce |

| Luis The leak is most likely due to the window as Will and Bruce suggest. I have just had the same problem. The dealer can find no fault but I did notice that there was quite a gap between the outside of the window and the mirror housing. The window should raise smoothly and just push over the rubber seal at the top of the hood, this will then push the outside of the glass against the mirror housing. Mine wasn't doing this (now self corrected and no leaks)..Difficult to describe really but I may be able to supply a couple of pics if you dont get it fixed.. |

| We have had a month's worth of rain over the past two days. Got into my F last night and the driver's door pull was full of water - not a drop anywhere else! Interestingly, I usually get water in the boot, but this too was bone dry. Isn't water a funny thing. Sam |

| Search the Technical Archive for threads that contain both the words Bruce and Leaks! :¬) The best one for me was 'Leaking seals near door mirrors' HTH Bruce |
