Water ingress

[emmerson]

I've got a big water leak into the driver's footwell.It's been standing for a week, and the water is soaked through the carpet. Before I start ripping it apart to find the source, is this common, has anyone found a simple repair, please?

You need to check under the windscreen scuttle cover as the drain off channels are probably blocked with leaves, rubbish and dirt.

Thanks tomcat. That's the sort of reply I was hoping for.

That's ok while you are standing at the side of the wing look down the gap between the top of the wing and the windscreen. leaves and crap goes down here and blocks the channels at the bottom of the wing by the door jam. Use a something like a kebab skewer to poke and drag the rubbish out.

Have same issue but never found the issue. If you solve it let us all know!

I would suspect a badly glued-in windscreen myself. I had a new screen fitted recently on my drive at home, and was told to wait half an hour at least, for the adhesive to "go off" before attempting to drive the vehicle. I've had 3 Berlingos and a Nemo in the past 11 years, and never had a wet footwell before.
