That's mental. Just found one leak in my windscreen where there's a hole in the windscreen bonding silicone but i had a quick spy behind the screen scuttle at that area and there's a wee bit of rust there. Guess the scuttle will be coming off for me to investigate further!

Passenger cell floor repairs to corroded rubber bung areas..





and from the underside, prior to underseal....




and finally the culprit - still can't believe this diddy hole in some body sealant caused so many days of bailing out the footwells and drying out carpets !

I'd been H2O hunting on my Mk3 Valver for a little while and eventually traced it's path back as far as the front passenger toe board, from where the trail disappeared up behind dash. Tried various fixes myself but recently gave in and sent the car for some professional attention. The screen was removed revealing extensive corrosion in the surround and associated damage to the seals. So, much welding, grinding and painting later, plus a new screen... and I still don't know if the problem's cured because the bloody sun's come out! Still, I'm sure the opportunity for testing will arise sooner than not and I'll let you all know the outcome.

Right then, without wishing to jump any guns or indulge in any pre-natal fowl counting, I think I may have a result. Despite sitting out in nigh on 24 hours of biblical precipitation, the inside of my dear old 'Dub still seems dry. Of course I'm still paranoid that something in the scuttle is just filling up and will shortly overflow, putting everyone right back where they started but that's just me being my usual cheery optimistic self!
