Came out to go to work this morning, noticed cd player wire sticking out under glovebox, went to tuck it back and came out with wet hand

. What usual suspects should I be looking for? Windscreen, pollen filter etc?

Cheers

yes

Also worth checking the drains in the scuttle (where the ECU and windscreen wiper motors are)

Check them as in blockages?

Thanks

You may also have a leak from the heater matrix.

yeah - is it water, or water+additive?

No additive, just water

No sunroof

If it is just water I would check your pollen filter plus that the scuttle drains are free.
