    Hi All,

    Our Bangernomics 07 Ford Focus C-Max is going great but the front footwells are always quite wet in the winter. Rainwater getting in somewhere but not sure from where. Its not the heater matrix. Anyone familiar with this issue & know where to look for water ingress. I've heard seams mentioned but not sure where to start.

    My car had a gasket/seal for steering shaft if the car was european model. Right beside this was a hole that served as drainage. This got blocked with crap and overtime the gasket/seal wore away and water started to accumulate in the back rear seat footwell...

    Have a look on youtube , i found the solution for my car there..

    Before I take off the wipers, anyone know it I need some type of pullers to get them off the splines after losening the nut or will they come away with a gentle tap.

    I took the wiper arm off my car the other week, it just pulled off the splines with light force once the nut was loosened. Make sure to mark the alignment of the blade on the windscreen for re-installation .Thats a hyundai though dont know if it would be the same for your car
