Correct, Any water ingress starts from this and goes around. You need to also use a power blowers and clean the 🍁 leafs from the left and right side under the bonnet. Near the windscreen
The driver side of my Rhd 530 also has water. My carpet is out and whwb u pour water at windshield there is a stream running from under driver foot area to the rear passenger area. Is that, the same fix? Because it's on the other side.
Thank you for watching my channel, your issue sounds like blocked drain pipes. If you follow my video I advise to change the Yellow Gromet and also clean the Left and right side ducting areas under the bonnet. Water is unable to escape through the correct channels hence finding its way inside. This can be a big long task to clear all drains but you must change the yellow gromet any way as these are faulty by design and become weak with time.
Thank you for watching my channel, Yes the rear is exact problem I had, soaking Wet Carpet. Once you change this and seal it Water will be gone for good. Don’t delay as it just gets worse. Also blow all the leafs out under the bonnet.
@@busterscrugs there is a cover on it, it’s not exposed to the naked eye. Take off the Engine Fancy Cover. Shine a Torch and you will see a black cowling / Cover in the same area you will need a lot of Patience and time. These are worst designed cars nowadays. Thats why they are no longer seen as a prestige vehicle. BMW have made a car for every person under the sun. ☀️ from 1 series to 8 series. Some models are pointless like the x6 pointless because the X5 had to offer everything. I think the car industry is going sideways because there is nothing more to develop in the cabin and just adding more and more tech.
Hi, Thank you for your question, I thought the same but the Yellow Gromet does not come out that easy better to push it from inside. Much easier plus you can see the damage of the water from inside if any.
@thespecialist786 ok so you made it look easy from the bonnet side and I thought well why the inside stuff 🤣 much appreciated, waiting for the grommet to get delivered, I bought a house last year with loads of trees next to it, I'm guessing the leaves are the culprit.
@@Deanthomson88 Correct, BMW F10 worst design. You will also need a blower to clear all the Left and Right side pockets of Leafs under the bonet near the wind screen. There is combination of issues that lead to the gromet. The real issue is not the gromet but the drain that get blocked with the leafs and the water finds its way to the Yellow Gromet which should not allow water to go inside the cabin.
Thank you for watching my channel, Yes it seems in the F10 the route for water in get in the cabin is via this yellow gromet. Change is and clean the drain lines. You must do both to get good results.
Thank you for your comment, I believe you may have also cleared the gutters. Not replacing it will flood your car just a matter of time. Your car, Your Risk.
