Default PLEASE help. Newbee here.

I am no stranger to cars, Modifying etc. I know that the car I bought is good which is a Ford Puma 1998 model. R reg. However it has its faults. I know there is the common issue of the door light. I think found which switch.. the Drivers door. This will soon be fixed. But I am having a horrible time with Moisture!!!!!


I don't drive that often anymore. once a month maybe twice. And the last time I drove it the weather was nice and dry and before that it was dry. However Still due to the heavy rain here in Humberside area My front windscreen and rear hatch window are completely soaked... IE I am using a beach towel to clean and then a window cleaner to remove the marks. I ended up knocking off my rear view mirror yesterday during this. So I am now annoyed. Where is the water coming from if its STATIC!!!!! The floor is wet but I don't have puddles or anything like that under my car! The dash and door shows no water signs. I drive the car and there is no wind noise when all windows are sealed. Its ALOT of water so I need to resolve this quickly before it kills my car. Thanks in advance... and I know I am new to this forum but I am not new to forums as a general. I will dig and do research as well as asking this but every time I have done research it turns up things that are not applicable in my circumstances.

I had a puma to break a few years back which did this and turned out it was leaking through hatch running down inner panels and sitting under carpet
