hi guys I picked up a pretty rough VS that had a lot of leaf matter in plenum and packed in around bottom of screen. The floors are soaked on left and right front (ute). Anyone know where I could start looking or should I pull windscreen and check for rust first? tia

Wash out the windscreen drains. Might even pay to remove the wiper plenumn and really get the hose in there. Try that first before removing windscreen.

Hi, The plastic plenum where the driver’s wiper shaft goes through often
cracks and lets water in.
Directly below this is where the a/c
pipe goes into the cab. Check the foam seal around the pipe.
Can you believe using foam as a seal,
it shrinks as it ages and no longer seals.

thanks guys - plenum absolutely caked with rust. Actually it's mainly the pillar on passenger side. well beyond fixing properly. Removed the carpet which cleared the mold problem ;)
