Water ingress passenger side front | Vauxhall Corsa News & FAQs

Question

Hi,

The car is a 1999 Vauxhall Corsa 3 door 1.0 and I have quite a bad water ingress into the front passenger side area of the car. It tends to fill up the tray under the glove box, and runs down the inside of the plastic kick panel.

Its not the heater matrix, and I've cleaned out all the 'crud' from under the scuttle panel and water drains away nicely. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Regards, Steve.

Answer

You’ve covered the most likely causes for Corsas.

On a car of this age it could be a number of things, but from the way it’s running I’d check the seal round the windscreen first.
