Damn. Takes ages doesn't it

I've been trying all week, lifting at the edges and using a dehumidifier. Decided today I was getting nowhere, and I need to on the road on Tuesday, so had to lift the seats.
So set the dehumidifier to full tilt, and it's almost dry. Right pita.

Now that I've cleaned out the water catchment area under the windscreen, and dried the carpet out, I poured 15L of water from the roof above the windscreen.
On these vans the water drains from under the windscreen directly into the front wings, and drips out either side of wheel arch.
Low and behold there is water coming out at the sealed joint between the A pillar and the floor. Result!

Nice find. Can you come and track down my leaks! I think I have at least 6

Well here's the source issue. the route through the bottom of the wheel arch is cunningly designed so that a single leaf will block it enough, so that dust and debris will collect and dam it up.

Do you think the leaf washed down from below the windscreen or got flicked up from the road? If it came from above plugging the drain with some sponge would allow water drip through but prevent larger bits from getting in again.

Yes, been thinking about that. Definitely came from the scuttle under the windscreen, there was a small woodland in there. The water at the bottom would still drain through, and it looked OK from the outside. It's probably been like that for a long time, and only became a problem when the seal failed.
