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.

All the interior trim is coming out until I find the bugger.

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...
