Hi all, apologies for not replying, just realised all the email notifications are going to spam. I've posted the video again, that is my mechanic pointing a smoke machine nozzle at the bottom of the windscreen/dashboard area from under the scuttle panel. Smoke comes through into the car. I got some sealant into the area BUT it's awkward and I was using a phone to see what I was doing. The water ingress isn't as bad but still not 100% sealed.

Hi all, just had a smoke test done. It now doesn't appear to be the windscreen leaking, I've attached a video. Below the scuttle on the passenger side on the bulkhead tucked right back near the dash, there's factory sealant (I guess sealing a bung), it looks like the sealant has a hole/failed. I'm now gonna apply sealant around it, fingers crossed that solves it but I'll update. 20240928_093953.mp4

Hi Thommo, not 100% there yet though I'm fairly certain it's a leaking windscreen, it's going into a garage this week and they're gonna check with a smoke machine to see if we can confirm 100%.

Hi Steve, yeh checked both, pollen filter is bone dry, even tried another member's suggestion of adding to the "channel" above the air intake to the filter...no difference ! As I say, it's only when hosing (slowly) the gap between the windscreen and a-pillar. Thanks though

Hi, I've been having issues with water getting into my daughter's A1 on the passenger side. I've tried everything suggested here including checking and cleaning drains etc, i tried putting water directly down the drains etc and have discovered water is only visibly getting into the car when directing water into the channel between the windscreen and a-pillar 6" up from the bottom of the screen. I assume the screen seal is goosed and have started looking for quotes to remove refit etc. I can update later but thought this might help someone else.
