Spoilt for choice on leaky Grenny threads so thought I would add to this one.
Had mine about a week and had bad weather for UK. So going out to the car was faced with a soggy passenger footwell. Booked into dealers who quickly replaced the seals (thanks Harwoods at Portsmouth). All good so I thought. A few days later faced with more bad weather and soggy footwell. The car is usually parked with front slightly down. I did try on the level and slightly uphill but no difference. In between I was regularly moping out and using towels to dry off as much as possible. The car is booked in again but given the persistent bad weather I wanted to do some investigation. First thing was take the safari windows out and a simply pour test down the drain tube. Passenger was not flowing as well as drivers but blew a bit of air down (used to have a Boxster and this was a regular even else again soggy footwell and drowned electronics). Another pour test all good. Next day soggy foot well again. Sticking my head around the footwell the majority of the water seems to be coming off the interior filter plastic housing with a little out of the side vents. Tried a bunch of different boxes but ended up with 2 taped together plastic magazine holders (A4) that fitted the footwell nicely and seems to catch a good amount of water. Decided in a quite moment to remove the cover for the interior filter under the bonnet. The seal was slimy and looking around there is a drain in that bulkhead area further towards the middle. This was pretty blocked with debris. Some squeezing of the hand in there and long screwdrivers I have managed to clear that out and do a simple pour test and it flows. Not saying this is fixing all my wows but hopefully it might give someone a few ideas.
