Locating Source of Water Leak
1.
At least 12 minutes should be spent during the initial hose testing, as the water may have to move through several body seams before being
detected.
2.
Turn water pressure on hose so that a 12" - 18" stream of water is present while hose is vertical.
3.
Carpet and side panels may have to be removed to locate source of leaks.
4.
Lower rear seat backs. From inside the vehicle, close the door. Using a flashlight, watch for water leaks during the hose test.
