This shouldn't happen...

When I had mine they stood up to motorway downpours and pressure washing without any problem.

Have you just bought them? If so, I suggest you send them back and get them replaced.

Sounds like someone drilled the hole with the wrong size drill bit - either that or it's got loose and rubbed itself causing the hole to enlarge. Mine don't leak and they have taken a right old battering....

All the holes have been drilled properly. And ive only had them
about a week the water seams to be creaping past the bottom mounts and then past the screws. and that just from hand washing it. I might have to sillicon seal it.

Possible

Its entirely poosible that your new TT leak. Any / All pannier
systems have this potential.
It would be a big help if you were to use Silicone sealant on the nuts "N" bolts that attach the Panniers to the Frames.
Its not uncommon.

I did that very thing last night so hopefully
its cured the problem.
