hi all, hoping some body may have an answer, with this lovely weather were having at the moment. my misses told me this when i got home from work. she got in drivers seat today whilst it was raining and she noticed water dripping from the dash in front off the passengers seat onto the floor matt. that was the only place in the car that was wet inside.
then she started up and drove off.
just wondered if anyone else came across this before

i dont think its the matrix as car wasn't even running??????

many thanks simon

scuttle panel seal! VERY common on focus. When they change the pollen filter on a service the clips normally break, so rain water runs down the windscreen and through the gap between screen and scuttle panel. Have a look on the passenger side at the bottom of the screen, you will see that the panel doesn't squeeze properly against the bottom of the screen.

Ford will try and sell you a double sided sticky pad strip to stick it down, but it won't work, get some new clips instead

No worries mate, mine was like it, i just put some sticky black tape along the bottom of the screen until I could get to ford for more clips. The tape held it fine for 6 months

This happened to me with my St, woke up to a swimming pool in the passenger footwell, i had to get a complete new scuttle panel from ford to fix this, was less than £30, your pollen filter will be knackered now as well so that will need changing also. If you change it your self it is easy to see why they do not get fitted properly, its very fiddely.
