xxericxx95 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi, I have a 54 plate fiesta flame and there is water gathering on the O/S suspension top strut mount any ideas on a fix on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 pour water down the window rubber, find out where its leaking in through. would make a fix easier to decide upon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Spray it with WD40 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 A few guys have used short pieces of 22mm copper pipe over the nut and packed with grease. Does as good a job as anything else if your not fussed on looks lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMo Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Stick in some grease if it bothers you Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Drive faster. Any water that doesn't get centrifugally flung out will be removed by the extra engine bay heat. Tbh, I kinda like those eBay caps mentioned above, tempted to buy a pair for mine, not that I'm bothered by the water, just to look different... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lanc Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If you can't cure the water leak may I suggest getting a gold fish 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxericxx95 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I bought some strut seal, but it doesn't fit like its gonna come off. Fitted N/S one just fine tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1tch Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I would also suggest checking the springs if the strut tops are rusted - I had the driver side spring snap on me, its a Ford fault on these - just wanted to add that to the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Leak Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 1¼"/32mm rubber blanking grommets work just as well as those sold as "strut seals" for a third of the price if you shop around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagobir Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Just come across this thread! Back when I had my Finesse, my dad noticed this issue and stuck some silver gaffa tape over the top [emoji24][emoji24]Now that I've replaced this for my Zetec, I might have a look at those seals as I did have my driver side spring snap on me a couple months back...Sent from my Phantom6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 My dad dumped grease in there and taped it up. You want to prevent it from rusting inside otherwise it might be difficult to loosen the bolt and you might need to cut it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
