Dash Leak on drivers side! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jbsali · 03-30-2015, 04:38 AM

I parked my car for about 9 hours in the rain at a friends place. I backed out of my parking spot, i was greeted with about 1/4 litre of water dumped all over my shoes. I live in rain city (aka vancouver area) and I have never noticed this issue before. I immediately pulled over and checked under the hood and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. I also checked under the dash and found wet electronics (wires, plug connections) and other panels and parts under the dash.

I'm going to call my local Subaru dealer to let them know about the issue. Has anyone else experienced this? I checked the forums and could only find people having issues with the passenger side.

UPDATE: Got the run around from the dealer and decided to do some poking around. slight moisture on inside of the windshield bottom left corner and moisture on vin number. appears to be a windshield seal issue. i'll keep you guys posted.

Dealer gave you the run around? What a surprise!

Was your windshield ever replaced??

What dealer did you go to? I've had trouble with a few of them around the lower mainland.
