Getting up close and personal with fifteen years of leaves and sycamore seeds, which are now, well, soil.

The circled bit in the picture is absolutely soaking wet. I think I know why my driver's footwell is wet now. The sealant around the loom is drenched as well.

Mate this is the exact problem I fixed last weekend (I hope) the foam was absolutely saturated and flooding the top of the loom cover

The foam sealant isn't even stuck down anymore.

It's taken a load of effort to get decent access (wiper assembly came out) and I've cleaned the scuttle as best as I can, so hopefully I've got it nailed this time.

I had the wiper mech out and still don’t have enough space. I don’t think I even had foam left haha. I want to when weather permits get back in there, power wash all the crud out then thoroughly clean and seal it all.

Every Leon owner has to have a roll of this lying around.

I think it's the law actually.

True that. I squashed a bead of it round under the loom panel. But I have no idea if it worked or not I’ll re do it in the warmer weather
