Ok...

The top part where all the fuses are lifts up at the front. It is clipped in and comes away from the base which is screwwed down to the body with 2 screws. Unclipping the top gives you enough room to get a screwdriver in there to undo the screws then it just lifts out.

There is meant to be a rubber ring/ boot around the hole.

If water is getting in, chances are you have a little rust hole

They usually rust at the front of the hol;e where the bulkhead is and also the scuttle panel rots behind the windcreen rubber on the seam. Both areas will let water into the cabin.
