Water ingress
OK, I know that water ingress is "characteristic of the marque", but. Having sealed around the tops of the A pillars, the pseudo screen hinges and the flange joint between the A pillar and scuttle panel, all seemed to be fine. However, after a deluge of 21mm of rain overnight last Wednesday, both footwells were awash. Any suggestions?

Windscreen seal is a favourite as are the door seals, hardtop seals etc., etc.

Hi Guys,
I have jus come online to check out the same problem, quite a lot of rain followed by a little puddle on my drivers side floormat on a two month old Defender.
OK so its windscreen first, then a few other obscure bits to check.
Does anyone know of a comprehensive thread on the site for this subject? I imagine it's been discussed a few times before?
Thanks again.

This is a well known problem. Take it to the dealers and they will repair under warrenty . Had to have mine done few months ago and has been fine since.

Finally after 3 visits and six weeks in total mine no longer has a foot spa (touch wood!) Very Happy

Has had new winscreen, windscreen seal , fake hinges, seal between screen frame and bulkhead, all points of ingress on the bulkhead, door seals, floor seals and believe it new seals on bonnet hinges. So hopefully it is now sound. Why they couldnt do it whilst building it is beyond me but hey ho Thumbs Up

Back in time for the summer Rolling with laughter
