Could be a number of places mate, window / door seals, windscreen surround / seal, sunroof, rear 1/4 windows

i had the same problem mine was that the rear inner arch had come come away from the outer shell and when it was driven in the rain the water would flick up and get in.

Heya mate

I had the same problem with mine with water coming in on the drivers side did exactly what you have done with the blotting paper what i found was that when the scuttle panel filled up with water it was pooring in threw the choke cable gromit use sealant around that :) BUT then i found a short period after that i was also getting water coming in threw the bonnet cable so again out with the sealant hope any of this helps mate. :)

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

could be your windscreen seal they have a habit of pissin in. if it is that brake your window and get a new one fitted off your insurance, dont even have to get your hands dirty... :agree::laugh:
