Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) water from the dashboard

In Italy it rained only once today... sometimes more, sometimes less.
After about an hour of driving in the rain, water came out of the dashboard.
Has anyone ever had this before? If so, how can it be fixed?

Typically if it's not dripping from top of windscreen onto dash it must be coming in from poor seal on lower part of screen. A bulkhead leak would have water ingress behind dash. You should be able to simulate with a hosepipe playing onto screen and hood whilst someone with tissue checks internally.

This is an improvement on previous models.

(On the older cars it came in around the windscreen seal and also on the leading edge of the drivers door but looking at yours I would say the windscreen?

Never at that place ,only on the top sides of the windscreen when rainning intensively. Check the seal at the base of the windscreen , it could be twisted when the windsreen was mounted.

Take itr back if under warranty. Water & pcbs etc don't mix. It could also be leaking screen wash pipes on my roadster the T piece had a crack..

Some washer bottle additives can congeal over time if not regularly used, you normally see it in the washer bottle which get sucked up into the plastic piping, blocks and under pressure when using the washers to clean the front screen forces the pipe off the plastic T junction and drips inside the cabin behind the dashboard usually onto the transmission tunnel. If it is the case easy fix, but use tie grips on the plastic pipe ends to stop it happening again.

Check the seals around the 3 wiper spindles where they enter the scuttle bodywork

Thanks for all who help me here.
Today was even heavier rain than yesterday and no water penetrated through the dashboard. On the one hand, that's good, on the other hand, a non-reproducible error is very difficult to fix.

Drip some Captain Tolleys sealer around the spindles and the washer spigots - if there is a leak there, this will solve it - I suspect though that it is the windscreen seal that is the problem and in a new car, the dealer should fix it, and promptly!!!!

Our Plus Six showed a small leak and that was traced to the washer jet area, however, that dripped much lower down under the dash.
