Front drivers carpet is getting wet, have checked the sunroof drains and they are fine.There is no dampness above the level of the carpets.
I stripped the carpets out and found a small trickle of dampness on the inner bulkhead above the gas pedal.
Is it possible that a drain hole could be blocked under the front panel where the wipers are?
The trickle is not directly under any grommet/hole in the bulk head, so I think it may be dripping from the top. Any input,help,ideas,thoughts are micky taking greatly appreciated guys.
Thanks for reading my inane babble again................:tongue:

Could possibly leaking windows rubbers themselves.

That thought did cross my mind pal. Was hoping it would be something like a blocked drain hole or something one of you guys had experienced.

Spray a garden hose on your windscreen and see if you can see the leak on the A pillar.
My bet would be rubbers too. Mine leaks on side comes down the A pillar and onto the floor.
You might not see it if it hides behind the trim though.

This is strange.
I stripped all the felt like sound proofing out from under the carpet, it was absolutely soaking wet, left it out as well. Stuck a heater under the carpet and dried it thoroughly on Saturday.
It has pee`d down, hard ,for two days solid, yet the carpet is still dry.
Self healing Patrol, another reason to like it..............:smiley_thumbs_up:
Edit to add................Andy, ours are bonded on with like a thick strong glue, no rubber seals around the screen. Will keep an eye on though.
Thanks

Park the patrol ontop of a sprinkler. Might find your problem that way...
