any experience here is greatly appreciated. i have occasional water ingress in the left footwell on a nas lhd. it's really only in the driver's side, and maybe every now and then if it's raining torrentially, some drips into the passenger side. it also likes to occur at a drivethrough carwash and highway speed in rain when the air resistance is full bore. there's no coolant in it (ac works fine and i'm not loosing water), i was under the car this weekend and the drain next to the tranny isn't clogged (ac drain)...happens pretty much only when it rains severely.
my thought is the pollen filter covers but i've inspected and aligned and remounted them several times. i do note there seems to be a small amount of gasket material around the edge of the filter covers. maybe this seal gets fried and dries out? maybe i could just put a sealing compuound like hylomar around the edges next time they're off and see if that works?
it drips in from the bulkhead at the top behind the pedals. is there something else that collects water or may be obstructed doing this? it's only an annoyance at this stage but there's nothing cool about mildew flourishing in your carpets...
