Lexus RX400h Water Leaks Found

🌀 In this video, we see the customer explain where he suspects the leaks on his car are coming from and where he has found water.

Upon inspection, we found the sunroof drainage pipes to be blocked, but we also found additional problems such as the sealant on the welds around the rear tailgate to be cracked and letting in water. The rear air vents were leaking and needed to be replaced, as well as numerous bumper and roof rail fittings letting in water.

Solution: The sunroof pipes were unblocked -- they often collect leaf debris, which collects at the bottom of the pipes. It is just a matter of flushing them through.

The sealant on the welds around the tailgate is chiselled away and replaced with fresh automotive sealant.

The bumpers and roof rails were removed, dirt and debris was removed, and all clips were replaced with new ones along with their waterproof seals. The rear vents were also replaced.

The videos shown on this channel are taken from inspection reports, filmed for the customer who has paid for a diagnostic inspection, which comes with a video report. We share them here for informational purposes because the hardest part of fixing leaky cars is finding the leak.

After the initial inspection, if the customer agrees to have the work done, we film progress reports for the customer and will sometimes include them here.

F E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S

Q: How much does it cost?
A: We don't know. That's why we do a diagnostic inspection. We cannot answer the question of how much it costs to fix before we know the extent of the problem. Prices for our inspection and hourly rates can be found on our website.

Q: Why don't you show us how to fix it?
A: This isn't a DIY channel, we are sharing videos we take for the customer as part of our inspection process. Furthermore, the vast majority of the fixes are simple, and if you need to ask how to fix them, you probably should let a professional deal with it. See below:

⚠️ C A U T I O N ⚠️

⚡ Electricity and water is a dangerous combination. This is especially the case with electric and hybrid cars, but most modern cars have electronic control units in areas which are prone to water ingress. These are easily damaged and can be expensive to replace.

💥 Areas that need to be accessed to fix water leaks may contain airbags. These are explosive and can be quite sensitive. Tampering with them could lead to serious injury.

☣️ Cars that have been damp for a prolonged period often contain mould, mildew and dangerous bacteria. Mould spores can seriously affect the health of people with asthma, the old, very young, and people with compromised immune systems. Mould should always be taken seriously.
