Help! Does anyone know where to find the drain holes on a latest version Vauhall Corsa? The carpet on the driver's side is sodden, front ad back, but not the passenger side or under the seat. I presume rain is getting in through somewhere then has no way of getting out. In compensation for this dull modern car question have some retro Vauxhalls.   |

Corsas have a history of letting in water. Remove the wiper arms and plastic scuttle trim to gain access to the top of the bulkhead where the drain hole will be. Also check things like grommets, pollen filter, heater blowers. Good luck.

The Corsa c has a plate in the bulkhead in front of the driver and the seal on it fails, the panel isn’t very expensive but it’s a bit long winded to change, this could be your problem !?

*%(&&%)($I!ing modern cars! Cant get the plastic trim off from the base of the screen because it's not attached with normal screws - I think it's clipped on somehow, and it's sealed to the windscreen. If it was my own car I'd still give it a go but it's actually my parents so I'm wary of doing some irreversible damage, so they're calling in the pros (£££). Thanks to those of you who tried to help anyway.  |
