robo22sri 10 Posted August 18, 2011 This is very strange! But my passenger side shelf below the glove box is wet! Why the hell is it wet? Cheers Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 18, 2011 Is the carpet wet or just the shelf? leaking window seal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Check for leaves in the scuttle on left side around the interior fan intake plastics. or The seal for the interior fan intake base seal to scuttle has perished. or The scuttle bottom floor panel has rusted through somewhere in the area above the passenger parcel shelf. .

Supercharged 2 Posted August 18, 2011 Check the ABS ECU if fitted before it's damaged Probably the scuttle seal or windscreen badly fitted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 18, 2011 Its behind a trim panel. Looking at the glovebox shelf, the bit of trim you want to remove is down to the left, near the door. There's 2 screws holding it. Behind it is the ABS ECU. Water can sometimes get behind there and damage it... which you obv dont want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robo22sri 10 Posted September 19, 2011 Right up date! I have changed the foliage foam gasket in the scuttle panel and put the shelf back in!! And I still have a wet passenger shelf! It did not even rain last night and it is still damp! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Scuttle floor panel was sound? Has it has a new windscreen at any stage? Check the little digit in the bottom corner of the screen. ".....n" where n is the last digit of the year it was made. eg a 1994 build will be ....3 or ....4. If different to the year build, then there maybe a leak i the sealant or rust damage has occurred in the left bottom corner area. Time to take the parcel shelf out and look up at the bottom edge of the windscreen and the underside of the scuttle area. If there is anything amiss, it will be obvious by rust trail. .

bristolbaron 10 Posted September 19, 2011 If it's getting damp without it raining it could be the heater matrix going? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 10 Posted September 19, 2011 If it's getting damp without it raining it could be the heater matrix going? It has had a new matrix supposedly! Plus if it wad wouldn't it lose coolant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
