Water getting in

[huesey1974]

Hi,
I have totally stripped out the interior as the carpets were soaked, After unblocking the rear and front drains I thought that it would be ok, The rear is bone dry now however water is coming in through the area in the photo. There is very little water in the front under the bonnet as the drain is clear yet after 1 day of light rain I have a small puddle in the drivers footwell and its dripping in through here which is just above the accelerator pedal. Want to put her back together but need to figure out how to stop this, Any ideas?
Thanks

What year is your 4S. Is it a 996? That looks like the grommet area that goes through the fire wall and into the battery area under the front bonnet. You may want to re-check the drains again near the battery.

Good catch, the 996 has three drains in the front of the car in the cowl area beneath the battery tray. If you have access to the 996 Bentley manual, check page 50-6 for a diagram of where they are; one is right in the area of your photo.

Hi,

Used some tiger seal both inside and out and its been bone dry for a few days of heavy rain.

Cheers
