Hi I've noticed my passenger footwells soaking wet I've took to a garage which has checked all seals and said there fine they said it could be my heater matrix but its not low and it rarely needs topping up? I'm stuck on what to do now I'm thinking I may need my windscreen took out and refitted properly and sealed I'm running out of choices!

I would dry the car out, then watch with a torch while some one applies water to the wind screen, you may see where the leak is that way.

I had the same problem with my 2006 ka, they couldn't find out the problem, then couple of months later I was losing water very quickly, turns out it was the heater matrix although this had nothing to do with the wet footwell, and that turns out to be a little hole in screen wash water bottle.
