Hi Guys,
Right so I've stripped out the wipers amd scuttle plate aned cleaned as much as I can in the area where water drains from under the scuttle panel in to the wing. Flushed area with water and had no leak over bonnet pull in car but a new leak at rear of pedals - not too worried about this as I shot water well back under the scuttle where normally you would not expect water to reach and it had not leaked here before. There are a couple of places where there could be a hole in the bulkhead seam which I will seal just in case. But generally the area looks well sealed but clearly there must be a hole somewhere.
The plate which covers the whole where the large cable goes through looks pretty well sealed but when all dried out I will run some sealant round anyway.
One thing that I am not sure about and would like advice please is that behind the plate where the cable goes through the bulkhead there is a pad, which looks like one of those pads which you wipe condensation off your windows with but it's not. It appears to be loose round the edges and is soaking wet. Don't want to pull it out incase it is fixed in the middle where I can't see or feel. Any ideas what it is?
I will keep you posted on progress over the next few days.
