I have had the door membrane replaced even though the door card was dry, I have re sealed the cabin filter casing and have now run out of ideas.
Is there anything I am missing.
The water is entering from behind the dash but not through the screen, it runs down the bulkhead and onto the carpet. The carpet under the seats always remains dry so it isn't the rear drains.
Fed up and at the moment defeated.

HELP
Are you sure it's not getting in somewhere round the side windows? I had to get my passenger side windows adjusted to stop water getting in past the front edge and running down the inside front of the door.

Are both of the door liners in good shape and in place? I am talking about the ones between the metal door and the inner interior panel.

Could the seal around your windshield be the problem?

No, I have water tested from below the windshield line, the water drains away ok from the skuttle panel through the drains but some ends up running down the cabin side of the bulkhead at the very front.
