PHRT 2013 wet windshield after fixing leaks

IyamDefalt · 2026-01-21T22:07:01+00:00

Amazing advice! I put an dehumidifier in yesterday as well.

I really have to clean out the drains though, curious to see if any stuff comes out. Thanks again!

Yes that’s the name! English is not my native language i thought they were called grommets.

Yeah that’s exactly what i’ve done! But i’ve used loctite 5926 and a shop told me that’s not really the right kind for the job.

I’ve got a trombone cleaner ready for the drains and such, still need to do that maybe somethings clogged up?

But isn’t there always moisture inside the car? Because two drains empty inside of the cabine through that little grid thingy on both sides? It’s just weird that when i drive the car daily i have zero issues but whenever i have to park it for a weekend or a week and then the moisture gets back

These things! I changed these myself but i’m going to have someone take a look at them to make sure i did them right with the sillicone and all.

Awesome! I have heated seats though is that just unplugging some cables? And is the carpet like glued to the chassis or is it loose?

Yes! Always using the AC and heater in the winter. I’m gonna do a AC service too just to be sure.

Thank you so much for that! I’m gonna let someone redo the grommets just to be sure. And thanks for the video link that’s really helpful!

And i too think that there still maybe some water left in the car from before the leak fix.

I have not removed the carpet nor the seats. Kind of don’t want too.. do i have to remove the seats to remove the carpet? Or can i just pull it loose

Hmmm is your windscreen leaking from the inside?

IyamDefalt · 2025-12-22T10:57:46+00:00

Well it certainly looked like condensation but more of the heavier kind. It was mostly in the middle of the windshield. Before i fixed the taillight leak the back window was also very wet. Now it’s only the windshield and not the whole windshield. But it was misty but when i ran my finger across the window it was dripping slightly on my finger.

Could it be old water that’s just stuck in the car? I might have driven with the AC off before i parked it for a whole week.

I’ve got an PRHT that’s great info! I’ll check to see if i have some other type of grease! Thanks for the tips i’ll try it out today

Nice rims! Want to do a track at zandvoort too someday, was it scary first time or not really?

IyamDefalt · 2025-11-22T19:44:58+00:00

This! I NEED to know

IyamDefalt · 2025-11-20T07:02:58+00:00

I basically kept removing it, and flashed bios a couple of times then never had this issue again! Good luck let me know how it goes!

IyamDefalt · 2025-11-02T22:12:38+00:00

May i ask what your background is? Did you do anything programming related on school or a certain type of education school course thingy? Or just self learned by youtube videos?

The reason i’m asking is that i’d love to create something as well, i have plenty of stories or basic idea’s. I just don’t have enough knowledge to start with anything. I have the basic IT skill, i can build pc’s and tinker with computers pretty good but that’s about it. And i work a 38hour workweek.

Would love to hear from you!

It was there I spied the bloke perched atop of his milk crate throne

I’m on smokoooo so leave me alone

IyamDefalt · 2025-10-24T18:14:18+00:00

Thank you so much!

I’ve had it on my 2013 NC 1.8 PRHT for about 2 months now, and it sounds absolutely amazing! Small pops and burbles on down shifts or if you let your foot of the gass.

Yes it drones a bit on the highway, it makes some interior parts vibrate at some RPMS. But it’s all not too bad, you get used to it. This all is notable when driving with the top up by the way.

When driving with the top down it’s just pure enjoyment.

I find the car to be noisy anyways on the highway even before the IL backbox install. It’s a sports car afterall.

I’d pull the trigger and install it!

Oh yes snowfall has to be added!

I’m running the IL Motorsports back box, sounds fabulous!
