Right, went to fit new speakers (which turned out to be the wrong size after i'd realised i'd been sent a smaller model >.>) to the astor last night, when removing the old speakers i discovered a very small amount of water in the car (just a few drops against the inside of the outer door panel) now i have the feeling this was when me and ozonehostile attempted a carpark repair of the drivers door window where the bung had separated in two and the glass kept falling off the peg attached to the window mechanism. We managed to get it back on all fine, until a test run started to peel away a rubber(?iirc) strip which went from the top to bottom of the regulator and bunched up and nearly burnt out the window motor, and being summer, we removed it as a car park wasn't the best repair spot. My first guess is that may be causing a slight leak, because it's in line with where the speaker was and the only wet can be felt here. The rubbers at the top of the door to wipe windows etc are fine, and i'm taking a guess that should remove the majority of the moisture from the windows.
Real question is, Am i worrying too much (as obviously water/moisture will get inside the doors from winding down wet windows) or do you think i should look at replacing the window mechanism (or if anyone has a nice astor door to save me the complete ball ache of fiddling with inside). Just wanted to get a second opinion because i usually over think these things
