It will if that's the cause of water entering the car.

You know that for a fact?

Damage to the pollen filter surround, allowing water to soak into the car through the pollen filter is pretty common.

Changing the filter alone wont, but if he checks his old one & it is soaked then chances are he's found where the water is entering the car. The problem would be the housing, and once sorted he would need to change the filter anyway.

You're either being stupid or pedantic, I hope that for your sake it's the latter.
