Feeling a bit fed up, been suffering from wet door card on the drivers side. After spending the afternoon replacing the seal (and the noisy regulator while I was in there), I noticed the usually dry passenger footwell was soaking.
I put my hand up behind the dash, wet there too. Inspected the pollen filter and it was brimming with water!
Struggling to see how it’s getting in. I noticed the rubbery half cover has about a 3 cm semi circle missing, looks like a mouse has nibbled it. Could be new or old I don’t know. Anyway I took the filter out, dried the housing and put the hose on to see if I could replicate it. Not a drop!
I checked the three drains round the battery and they are clear, possibly could have been blocked but it was bone dry round them and they are a long way below the filter housing?
I guess I’ll order a new housing and gasket and see if that helps, just can’t understand it….
