Driving the car today i heard the sound of water dripping inside .. and true enough there was a liquid puddle in the front passenger footwell ! i felt, smelt and looked at the colour of the liquid and all the evidence is that its water, not coolant or anything else. Note that it had rained for about 1 and half hours this morning (my car is parked outdoors) and also i washed it yesterday with hose etc.
The water did not come through the door (seals are dry) but, from underneath the glove box. I can actually see and hear water dripping coming down from the undercasing of glove box as I was turning corners/braking. The glovbox compartment itself is dry when opened, so the water seems to have accumulated in the space between the comparment and the undercasing (the one which you have to unscrew to get to the air cabin filter)
Please advice as to what could have caused this ..
Is there something i could do to fix this , or is it a trip to the dealership ?
the water on the carpet is not drying despite using a full kitchen roll ( so it seems to have gone through the carpet), is there likely to be any damage to any electrics etc from this ?
If its starts raining again tonight, what could i do to prevent more water coming in until this fixed ?
