I have just bought a 380SE 1981 vintage. I have noticed water coming into the front n/s footwell and boot. Any help or suggestions to rectify please?

water in footwell would either be from the gutters under the bonnet full of leafs etc or it could be the windscreen fitted incorrectly leaving some area unsealed to allow water.

hope this helps

i would go for the sunroof drains they rust where the metal tube,s join the rubber pipes to come down the A pillars. its a fiddly job as you nee to take the roof lining down in the corners to get access. ive done a few in the past including my own .the water in the boot will almost certainly be the rear parcel shelf panel.the best way to check it is to get in the boot with a good torch and look up at the metal panel they usually rust in the corners where the rear screen rubbers meet the metal to repair it properly is a rear screen out job.
hope this helps
