Got a really annoying leak that is filling the footwells when the car is left sitting.

Car is facing downhill, with a shower cape over the soft-top. I'm getting a couple of inches of water in.

Been watching for a few weeks but I just can't find where it is coming from. Doesn't seem to be from around the doors anywhere, so assuming it is at the windscreen or bulkhead. I know a few people have talked about leaks in this area before...any suggestions as to what/where might be the likely culprit...everything (other than the puddle ) seems dry

My (04 MY S2) leaked when it was new - from somewhere around the base of the windscreen. Remember driving after it had sat out in a night of lake district rain - had to lift up feet going round corners! Got sorted under warranty. MMC had a 4 page fax from Lotus listing all the likely leak points!! I never had a copy but might be worth trying to get hold of one.

Drill a hole in the floor

pressure wash it with someone inside

Buy a roll of kitchen towel
Put lots of single bits down, covering various parts of the car.
Give it a quick hose
See which bits are wet to see where the water is coming in.

Hugely useful for detecting leaks in mx5 softtops immediatly after you've fitted them...

Have tried the above- no sign!

Thanks, Dom; Grinderman in 'gratuitous power-tool solution' shocker

Give it a stern talking to???
A damn good thrashing?
Ignore it?
Take it to a garage to sort?
