Wet carpets passenger side 2003 Corsa

My first thought was blocked scuttle drain like the Omega, but there doesn't seem to be much of anything behind the battery.

Windscreen seal itself?

I think I'll remove the battery for a better look......I have the radio code.

It was fine until a huge deluge a couple of weeks back.

usually the drivers side - pedals seal.

Passenger side. Has the pollen filter not been sealed properly on refitment?

Blocked drain hole (leaves and the like)

bad grommet where the wiring from fusebox goes through into car?

You might have to remove the glove box to get a better view.

Thanks, Mr Varche,

I've had a quick look at the chavs who inhabit the Corsa forum (innit) and there are only so many things it can be. There was a lot of debris around the battery.

My BMW is a modern classic  8) , whereas your Corsa is just a common or garden leaky chav-mobile that when cubed no-one will miss!  ::)

Mrs Opti deserves better!  ;D

Yes, of course it is. :).........I didn't realise it was so sought after. I apologise. ::)

Must be worth at least £30,000 and rising. A true classic like a 2002 Turbo or M1.

Mrs Opti deserves better than you. Someone like STEMO would look after her.

Steady on, Tig, you'll hurt his feelings.

That's because he's got one of each in an old barn on his sprawling estate. Now, if only he could remember which barn! :o :P

My money is on the battery tray...

Mk3 Granada did the same if the battery cover was left off...

Either a quick fix or some surgery*... :-\

*Mastic and flog it or welding :D

Two other solutions.

Buy a car cover

Or turf the tata out in the elements to make way for an under cover Corsa.
