Water coming from behind passenger side dash

[Rookwise]

Got in my Leon earlier and noticed a puddle in the passenger footwell. Had a quick look in the footwell and saw that water was coming from behind the dash from near the center console and also down the plastic trim in front of the door (see pics)
I know the passenger door isn't leaking as I've already repaired the seal there.

Just wondering what other things could cause this.

I have a 2002 Leon 1.4 without air con.

Has it been in for a service recently? Check the pollen filter cover is in correctly, and the skirt is surrounding the filter rather than acting like a funnel for rainwater. My local Seat dealership (Castlegate, Norwich) fitted the cover badly during the summer, but it didn't become apparent until the weather changed and my passenger footwell flooded. Not impressed.

No mate. I never take my cars to stealers for work. Do it all myself. Its done properly then as the stealers in my area are a bit pants imo.
I've not had the pollen filter out since summer 2006 and not had any problems until now.

Rook,

This guy also has the same issue and is there a grommit on your passenger side?

Could be the same issue.

I had a problem with my seat leon few months back.

Problem was the pollen filter once i refitted it no more passenger side leaks. I think it happened when i installed my sub as we had to feed the power cable near the pollen filter.

But i still kept getting leaks from my front windscreen near the sunvisor. So i thought i would try a DIY job. Basically got some sealant and pulled back the cloth on the roof near the sunvisor and where there were gaps between the metal frame and the front window i put in some sealant and then from the outside i ran a bead of sealant across the top of the window.

result of which i now have no leaks, fingers crossed it lasts - All posts i read pointed to either the door sills or the pollen filter. My problem was the pollen filter and the windscreen sealant

definitely worth a look! this one only has the problem when the car is aimed slightly upwards. however the water can trickle off the soundproofing and then in a variety of directions. In my case it fell into the groove between the blower and the a/c and then onto the ground.

thanks for the info everyone.I'm viewing SCN from my mobile atm.Will look at the links asap.
My Leon was parked half on the kerb and also facing upbank when this happened.But even when parked on a flat theres a small trickle of water coming from under the dash and running down the trim by the door step.
