Hi

Got a wet floor on the drivers side on my LHD ZTT..
Ive open up carpet and Its SOAKING WET...

Ive got no sunroof and had a new front windscreen fitted just a couple of months ago..mate of mine run a auto glass shop so I was lucky enough to get take part in it and give it some extra sealing attention.

Ive been good boy and removed bungs and prodded plenums over the years but I have never had this problem before..

Is there adrain hole in the firewall under the power steering "box"?

Im clueless..

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Check the scuttle clips that hold down the black plastic panel below the windscreen. Mine leaked too, and I could see on rainy days a collection of water in the recess on the far left of the panel. Remove all the clips, but put a bit of tape on each one before removal otherwise you’ll never see some of them again, then remove the panel, seal the white clip retainers with silicon and refit.

Regards
