Sorry can't get any pics posted but the leak is just behind the door pillar on the bottom of the seal about 75mm in from the bottom of the window , I know it sounds silly but the water seems to be getting in at exactly the same place on both sides ! Tried pushing the rubber down between the glass when shut but it's not really done much , my friend who used to work for Citroën is puzzled too , Mark |

I have the same problem, but only at the left side. Don't know where it is coming from either. |

Spoke to my friend today who is an ex Citroën mechanic and he said an option was to tap the metalwork that the rubber seal pushes onto with a piece of wood and a hammer , I know it sounds brutal but he says this should solve it ? Did think of a rubber seal of a pug 306 but there not available anymore like the Zx ones aarrgh ! Will keep updating on the progress , Mark |

I've not tried this method yet but hopefully it might work , just waiting for my mechanic mate to have a look at the heater as it blows warm through the fascia vents but cold to the screen , he says it's a common problem on the Zx , will keep you updated , how's the weather up there Dougy ! I hope your well wrapped up if your working on the car , Mark |

Was going to say about using a xsara coupe seal to see if that works. But you may have solved it. |
