One thing I have experienced is severe wear on the windshield wiper
shafts which caused water to pour in through the gap, into the
front & soaking the driver's footwell. Took me a while to find out
where it was coming from, as it's not immediately obvious ... The
only cure was to replace the wiper arm pivot shafts and outer
bits .....
