Not an unusual event it would seem from reading other posts here!
I can see the drains in the corner of the sunroof when it is open, they are both intact - where should these drain out to?
Drivers footwell was sodden when I bought the car - have removed the thick foam and expect will replace this with thick solid rubber matting cut to size.
No major rust damage to floorpan, a little where the sill meets the floor and some rusting around the base of the accelerator fitting.
Plan to sit the car inthe garage, leave a fan on for a day or two get as dry as possible, wire brush/clean the rusted areas and then paint with lead oxide?
How to stop the water getting in, in the future? Noticed on another post drain holes somewhere on a bulkhead.
Have also got some water ingress in the offside section of the boot underneath the fuel filler area. I did notice that the rubber seals were not properly in place - that has been fixed - but could there be other areas for water to enter the boot.
The car has at some stage in the past few year had the rear screen removed and re-fitted the chrome trim at the bottom coners seems to sit a little proud - is that correct?
