I found the cowling where the windshield meets the front hood lets a lot of debris in. Soon as it clogs the drain holes, you could end up with water inside.

I had the car on a lift and blew compressed air up from the bottom. More junk came out than I thought was possible.

I check that area regularly now and pick bits of leaves out regularly. There are copper-screen socks that might work. The 914 fuel tank uses one and might be a solution
