howdy all, some of you might of read my other topics about my passengers side footwell been completly soaken.. really pissed me off, well today i got a tad frustrated since my car yet again stuck of dampness even with 4 trees in! :fcuk:... ive had alook at the leak befor and through reading topics about it on here i "thought" it was the sunroof drainage pipe blocked up well it wasnt since my carpet was still pissing wet so today i went out with my tools thinking id need to take my dash all off, that wasnt the case i guessed considering it looked pritty much right behind the glove box if i can rip that out id have a pritty good space to see where this leak was coming from, so i took the screws out and riped the shit out the glove box to get it out, it came out the end with a very pissed off bowey... neway i cut away all that underlay shit and there it was... the highest point behind the dash... a part where the car joins together rusted and water pissing through it woo so i took some pictures for yas incase some 1 eles has the same problem...

Bit excessive with the mastic, never known a saxo to rust in that spot.

Maybe drilling a hole through the firewall for your power cable has something to do with it.

If you had looked behind the brake servo there is already a grommet there which you could have passed the power cable through.
