Water ingress since windscreen replaced
Hi all, hate to be one of the 'ever since you done' but it is what has happened...
E350 cabriolet 2012.
Windscreen replaced end of august due to stone chip (Autoglass). Sept was sunny, Oct lots of rain. First noticed LOTS of internal condensation, then the sloshing in the sills.
Passenger side only both footwells full of water. Appreciate the back is because its running down from the front.
Lifted carpet a little and vax'd out 2" of water however after it rained, the water was back.
Its gone back to autoglass who have UV die tested and said water is coming in from behind glove box but 'nothing we've done'.
It's only happened since windscreen was replaced. Had the car nearly 6 years and never a previous issue with this
Is there anywhere else I can be looking, drains etc ? The scuttle drain grill on the near side little 2" or so plastic grill is clear but can I blow it out with an air line etc?
Am stumped what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you all hugely.
