Hi Has anybody had the same problem?
ive had to leave my pride and joy outside my garage for a couple of months now i know it leaks a bit of water but not sure where from but my gripe is that the dash has come up all bubbly from the dampness and im just wondering weather to leave it untill the sun comes out and hopefully they will go away or do i go round bursting them all letting the small amounts of water out of them ...They look like tiny little boils!!
And no i cant get it back into my garage anytime soon , i did fit a good quality car cover just before xmas as a temp mesure with all the fancy straps ect but the 80mph winds just wanted to rip it to bits ...roll on summertime!!

DO NOT burst the bubbles, leave them alone as they may just reform perfectly in the warm weather. if you burst them you've had it!ive had to leave my pride and joy outside my garage for a couple of months now i know it leaks a bit of water but not sure where from but my gripe is that the dash has come up all bubbly from the dampness and im just wondering weather to leave it untill the sun comes out and hopefully they will go away or do i go round bursting them all letting the small amounts of water out of them ...They look like tiny little boils!!

Re the car cover, make sure it's "breathable" and always strap in down. Not tight fitting as you want it to bellow in the wind as this moves air across the body which is good.
Get the cover off or you will get paint blisters forming on your body work as well, this is caused by trapped moisture freezing and expanding this is peculiar to GRP/composite cars. (ask any Lotus owner).
As Rob says do not mess with any blisters, they can and most likely will "disappear" in their own time.
