Following on from my thread about removing the glove box (many thanks to all those who replied and offered much needed and appreciated advice), I was able to get this task done over the weekend. I changed the pollen/cabin filter and replaced the glove box light at the same time.
Trouble is that water is streaming in to the passenger footwell from somewhere. The amount of water I've soaked up is on the boundaries of believable. It seems as though someone is sneeking in to the car in the night and chucking a bucket of water in there.
The old pollen filter was bone dry and I had as good a look as I could with an inspection torch and the surrounding area all looked to be bone dry as well.
I removed the rubber grommet bung things from the bottom of the door a couple of weeks ago. All was dry in there.
When it was hammering down with rain on Sunday I lifted the bonnet and checked on the scuttle panel drain chute thingies. As you look in to the engine bay from the front, the left-hand one was draining ok (right down onto the steering rack?) but the right-hand one didn't seem to be doing anything. Could this be an indicator that something isn't happening as it should?
What else can I try to identify how and where water is getting in? I love my Insignia to bits as it took me from Leicester to Stourbridge and back everyday for over a year and I'm pretty upset by it all now.
Thanks people.
