water in car??

prob blocked drainage holes on sunroof, these are on each corner of the sunroof, they exit in the door hinge area, you will see some blsck tube things poking out, use a bit of wire and feed it down

if you used search function this has been covered many times

Hello,
You might want to check your scuttle panel. It seals against the windscreen and they rot quite commonly. Jak.

Also has drainage holes in the corners of the wings by the scuttle panel. These get clogged up with leaves easily this time of year. At worst could also be the heater matrix but check all the drainage holes first though Mate.

scuttle panel usually means it leaks in the passenger footwell dude as it leaks through the pollen filter
im with f17bad or it might be leaking through the door skin(this is if the door glass has been replaced)
the drainage channels r in 2 sections,bottom is rubber j pipe and then youve got the actual pipe.might need you to unblock the rubber j piece by gettin abit of wire and se how much mud ect comes out then open your sunroof slightly and run hot water off of the glass,if it comes out the rubber pipe then cool.lol
if not then it might be where the two pieces join.
i had this and had to try and get the rubber out and clean it properly

The drainae holes under the scuttle panel can let water in either side as the water runs down the inside of either win and can et in through either the door or the footwell. I had this problem on my old Mark 3 drivers side.

Its prob the pollon filter tray it's under the scuttle panel on passengers side.

Check around the pollen filter to see if it fitted down all ok, also check that the drains are clear.
