have you checked the seal ov the windscreen its a fault when theve been replaced previously squirt a hose pipe around the window only whilst doing this watch the inside for water ingress especialy around the underneath of the glove box and bulk head if there is signs of fresh water then there is your problem. if you need help to rectify this give me a ring 07775768830 jason

ied the hosepipe around the windscreen pollen filter and its drain were checked by taunton ford this made no difference at all.have tried the hosepipe around the windscreen but could not see any water coming in anywhere.Any other ideas would be very welcome as the damp in the car is causing a lot of condensation which is currently freezing every night.

do you have a sun roof????? check the drain holes with a bendy cote hanger or mig wire they can block and water will drain into car good luck
