Hi, Just discovered a puddle of of water in passenger front footwell. The car is a 2008 Croma MkII and left hand drive (as we are currently visiting UK and drove over from Italy – safer than flying in these Covid times).
For the first time ever, water ingress has happened even though the car is 12 years old now. I've checked through previous comments made on here and found several. Moneyfools comment of 2008 with excellent photos seems to be a possible answer. At the moment it is weeing down and everything is smoking wet so will have to leave until things dry up. However, I did notice the plastic trim immediately below the windscreen was filled with water – the tiny drain hole was blocked. I have in the past pinned the hole, but being so tiny, it easily blocks.
I will check what Money fool said when possible but in the meantime if anyone has anything else uptodate on the issue I'd be pleased to hear it.
Thanks, Ray
