Default Water getting into mk 1 focus

Hi,

I've got water coming into the passenger footwell when it rains.

Obviously something is blocked up. Can anybody steer me in the right direction?
Thanks
Terry

Has it recently had a service??? usually the cabin filter seal under the scuttle will be broken... very common fault.

As above. Scuttle panel seal where the windscreen is probably leaking especially if recently had a new pollen filter. I have a big roll of seal can cut you some off and send if required.

Yup, scuttle panel broken, stick it down to the windscreen with gaffa tape as a temporary measure. Ford will try and sell you a double sided sticky foam strip but it won't work, afraid you will probably need to replace the panel if the clips are broken.
