Think the drain atbthe front window is blocked If your car has a sunroof there are normally two drain holes in the runners, they run down the window pillars and out through the bottom, these often block and water finds its way into the car, wind the sunroof back and poke a length of stiff wire dawn the holes, this is the reason you see older motors with tape round the sun roof, easy fix if it is mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 My mate had a similar problem with wet footwells, it's where the drains in either corner of the windscreen block up with leaves etc and it overflows, clean them out and it should stop. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is mate roofers are going to be at a premium with all this weather both price and time wise, do you no any scaffolders that could get you a couple of lifts up ? at least if you can get up there you could get a few tarps over the roof to prevent further damage, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
