RAIN + LW Focus = IN CAR POOL!

[Nolz]

And the obvious...all windows were UP all doors were closed completely.

Today I had a few tradies come over so being as nice as I am, I took the focus out of the garage so that they could use it to cut up some architrave etc. without getting wet.

Parked the focus in the street (there's a reasonably steep incline on my street and the car was pointed up hill).

This evening I go to move it back inside and notice that my stereo cut out (aftermarket amps under seat). I put it in the garage and have a look to find that it is FARKEN SWIMMING IN A POOL OF WATER! The left side of the vehicle front and back has pooled about an inch of water. I didn't notice when I got in as it was dark and the driver side was dry.

Upon inspection and removal of the plastic grill/grate near the wipers at the base of the windscreen I can see that, that area contains some wires in conduit which lead downward, I assume INTO THE CABIN.

I upon putting my hand behind the passenger side carpet under the dash, its all wet in there. It's obviously coming in and down from behind the dash somewhere.

Anyone have any problems???? If not, BEWARE. I am livid! Car was perfect up until now. And this is a pretty big **** OFF PROBLEM!

HELP!

Can anyone confirm that the area under that plastic grate leads into the cabin? Is that where fresh air is drawn in for the HVAC and could this be the source of the flood??
