Water leaking from A-pillar airbag cover in heavy rain

That's why there's a warranty. People suggesting pulling things apart when there's an airbag behind that panel. Don't mess with anything. Let the dealer figure out why it's leaking.

Figure out how to reproduce it first though. The service people won’t be able to summon a huge storm, and they will do exactly diddly if they can’t reproduce it reliably…

Make an appointment at your dealer. A wet air bag/module/connector is nothing to be messing around with. Terminals are gold plated and don’t tollerate moisture intrusion. Just sayin’

I think Union Road is probably one of their locations. We have different wash down here and depending on location you go to, they have limitations.

Haha I feel like a moron.

You're 100% correct. It's a location out in Buffalo.

Exactly. GM just announced a big recall for a similar issue. Not something to take lightly.

If you try the DYI method and screw something up, you may void the warranty and be stuck with an expensive issue, not to mention risking injury if you disturb the airbag and set it off.

That didn't take long.

The Ford Rockstars strike again!

They copy and pasted from the F-150 and failed to tell us it is due to the tire width that you may not be able to drive thru a car wash track.

Before I leave Granger, I'll go though a car was.

Take it to a dealer with the pictures. Don’t try to pull the APost. I would check the floorboard by the kick panel to see if water is there as well. It could be the windshield, top, seam where the roof rail (or other attachments) goes.

That’s a very Webasto-type solution you have there…

For Webasto you better order a truckload.

It’s a quick fix! If flex seal can’t fix it then It’s doomed
I hope it’s a quick DIY fix and nothing major.

Great minds think alike
