Hi all,
I actually drive a Bravo, but my girlfriend's father drives a Marea. It is less than a year old and there is a water leak in the glovebox of all places!! Anyone else ever experience this? I've heard of the sun roof leaking but not the glovebox!!!
Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks again!
 
Yeah I know!!
Migh tbe the seal on the windscreen or something??? I'll check those pipes like you said....but it's very hard to see where the water is coming from. It colloects in the footwell below the globe box.

Thanks again!
 
If it collects in the footwell it could still even be the sunroof, aerial housing or something like that.

The A-pillar drainage pipes aren't man enough and don't drain properly. Had the driver's footwell soaked near the pedals and further down and it was due to the pipe being blocked. Also, open the bonnet and you'll see in front of the hinges there's a black plastic and spongey bit (technical term :)) carrying on from the bulkhead. I think the drainage pipe comes out around there somewhere (dont quote me on that). That whole box section below the bonnet hinges gets blocked quite easily. The bottom of this black plastic bit is sponge. Poke a blunt object through the sponge bit to lift it up slightly (or remove it, theres 2 or so screws on the top) to let the water drain. Have you any idea what I'm on about or am i talking crap?

The windscreen seals are normally quite good. Looks like it's bonded.

Thanks for the suggestion will take a look this evening! Hadn.t checked this site in a while as I was off on a sickie for 3 days last weeks (Nothing like a 5 day weekend!!!).
