if its the same as my DX its the aircon drainage hose and its been kicked off ,
and its a mongrel to put back on i might add
also if thats the problem fix it quick my ecu is up the creek after todays leaks
anyone got a spare lmao
HELL NO !!!!!!
Big Rig, install a well type rubber front mat, and wear thongs - works for me :-)
There is a Flashing that goes along the bottom of the Windscreen which has 6 Screws holding it on. The leak in my Gu was from one those Screws on the Passenger side of the Car. You need to remove the Grill cover between the back of the Bonnet and the Windscreen to get at the Flashing. Put Sealant in each of the rubber Grummets where the Screws are and also around the Block that holds the Windscreen up. If you cannot understand my instructions show them to a Person that knows Windscreens and he might understand.
This is a common fault with GU Patrols .The guy at Windscreens O'brien did not know about it but another Windscreen Guy in Bendigo knew the fault as son as I told him the Problem

Hey Bob, I sure hope you're right, & I'm optimistic you are. One of those holes is in direct line for all the water that drains from the passenger side grill, directed by a rubber strip. Some of my 6 holes had a sort of rubber washer on them, most were missing.
I have spent the weekend trying to track down this leak. I put additional windscreen sealant along the bottom of the screen, under the 'flashing', & sealed all gaps between flashing & screen. I was confident I'd sorted it but hosepipe tests quickly showed otherwise. I found a firewall grommet that has previously been cut for cable entry (cable no longer there) where I could see water running in, directed by a loose piece of insulation on the firewall. Insulation fixed & hole in grommet sealed.
Hosepipe test - Bollocks! Still getting in.
So now I've tried using some of that windscreen sealant to seal around all those holes that take those weird little pastic fittings to hold the 'grill' piece on (& the ones that hold the flashing on just for luck) Will try with the hose test again tomorrow when it's light.
Fingers crossed - I've run out of options.
In the photo I've asked 'What is it?' about a couple of items. The big white plastic casing looks like a fan blower, but when I switch the fan on , on the dash, holding my hand on this case , I can't detect any difference to when the fan is off. With the electrical connector removed, I unscrewed the 2 screws holding the'socket' & removed it from the case. On it's reverse side was a small printed circuit board. What is this for, & why is it stuck in the bottom of this 'blower-like case'?

That is the area and also there is a Block that holds the Windscreen up. Seal around that also. Best of Luck
The white case is the blower fan case.
The printed circuit thing is most likely the fan speed resistor, I've never had a close look at mine to be sure but if the circuit board sits inside the blower case in the air stream then it wil be the resistor. It's positioned in the air stream to keep it cool.
Are you getting any air out of the vents when you turn the fan on? If your fan only works on high speed then the resistor is faulty.
