Left windows open, it rained and now locking issues
So firstly "Yes, I know I'm a "
Came home last night, bright sunshine, so left the windows open as I was going out again, long story short I didn't end up going out and forgot about the windows
It of course it down overnight and this morning was faced with both front windows open and water inside car
Besides damp bits everywhere, all actually seemed to be ok, but just noticed this afternoon that the drivers door lock, although moves, it doesn't lock the car. Lock button and you see it move, but it still allows you to open it - same when you deadlock it
Any thoughts?
Cheers from a IggyIggy/Ieuan

'There for the grace of god' etc - could happen to anyone
Get yourself a decent mains dehumidifier and leave it running overnight for a week. That should suck out the majority of the water.

At last some sense
Going out on it now to see how it is, but not holding out much hope
One strange effect though is that I've found myself looking at D4's on Auto trader
