Question

Answer
Richie, you need to take it back to the shop that repaired it. They should trace and repair the water leak for no charge- as long as it's not accident related. If they claim it's not accident related, then it should be covered under your Toyota factory warranty. Water leaks are pesky and sometimes difficult to trace- especially if hey are running into the interior of the vehicle. I really can't help you without actually working on the car myself- which is impossible, obviously. Besides, it's really not your problem- it's the body shop or Toyota's problem. Bill
