Default Weird water leak dashboard by VIN window

Hi all

I'm after some more expert advice please!

I've been slowly working my way through the various water leaks that the Tourer has, rear lights, vent flaps etc and have noticed that there appears to be water collecting on the N/S lower windscreen area where the little VIN plate window is. It seems to evaporate quite quickly, but refills when it rains.

No signs of water anywhere else, carpets, roof lining etc. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Check the rubber tube isn't blocked on the inner wing

Thanks for getting back to me. Could you let me know where about's this is please? Checked the plenum drain and the hole at the top of the wing (passenger side) has no bung / gromit.

Thanks

Chris

Have you checked inside the plenum? Beneath the scuttle panel, where the pollen filter lives

Thanks Suzublu, yes - all clear in the plenum.

This water is above that in the bottom of the windscreen - really odd?

Any other pointers welcome!
