Bit of a question today - After leaving the Jimny sitting in the rain and snow for a few hours I set off down the road and was surprised to hear what sounded like water sloshing about in a tin can. After a few miles the sloshing noise abated and that was that. Does standing water build up within the body and then drain out under movement? Zero sign of any water ingress to the interior - unlike our last Solihull produced 4X4. Your thoughts appreciated - especially from new Jimny owners.

Mine lives outside all the time - I can't say I've experienced anything that sounds like that!

Only had that in a Landcruiser 80 where the drains from the sunroof drain into the sills, and the sill drains were blocked with mud.

I wonder what could be happening to your Jimny.

My old Nissan maverick used to do this. It was the drains for the scuttle being blocked that did it.

I had exactly the same thing happen - I assumed it was snow melt in the roof gutters, but don't know for sure.
