Wet Carpets

["Paul Salsbury" <paul.salsbury@xxxx>]

Since the weather turned cold before Christmas my D has been suffering from immense Condensation on the inside of the windscreen(no other windows).

Through investigation the drivers side foot well carpet got wetter and wetter if the car was out in the rain. However I could find no leaks and none of the side carpeting was wet either, under the seatwas dry.

Next the passenger side started to get wet??????

 

I took the carpets out dried them, and within one heavy downpour they were wet again.

 

All I could presume was the water was coming in under the dash but there was no wet trails to show.

 

Sunday with my head wedged up under the Steering column I found the open end of a clear plastic tube, similar to washer tubing that disappeared up into the dash. Could this be the culprit?? I have fed this out through the Speedo cable hole as a temporary measure. I also left the carpet out.

 

It has now rained 24hrs solid, result no condensation and no wet floor.

What was that pipe? and how is the water getting to the passenger side?

 

Cheers

Paul
