Yep I get that but it isn't the right place for getting your feet wet

Think that will be a job for later then, where my sj was tagged and abused by the previous owner there is dried mud all over everything, the bulkhead, all behind the dash etc is covered in fried up mud so when the water has come in its gone wet son when I put my hand up towards the back of the glove box it was all wet mud on everything behind there, think I will have to strip my dash and everything out and give it a good clean aswel..

My drivers door used to be a bit out of shape and didn't close properly so there was a gap so a draft was coming in, opened the door and bent it inwards just a little and it seals when closed again now :)

Have you tried covering up the vents by the windscreen wipers? My old 410 leaked through there so I bought some sliding vents (think for home A/C) and screwed them in. Leak stopped!
If it ticks over...leave it

I think I have very much the same problem! Keep getting to the zook and finding inches of water in the footwells! Fixed the passenger side which was just the scuttle pan drain hose which had come off... but the drivers side is a mixture of the drivers door not closing properly and my windscreen surround being knackered!
