vent seals
Just taken the front vents off to see why gallons of water enter the bulkhead here and results in pools of water in the foot wells having passed via the fuse box!!!

Is there a quick fix, or is it best just to replace. have heard that the earlier seals which fix to the bulhead are better than the later foam ones.

Any advise welcome
