Now I know why the 'stars' :-[

If anyone has a serious response to this I'd appreciate hearing it.

Hi,

I think we're going to try patching it from behind the glovebox and perhaps paint Thompsons Roof Seal on the inside of the scuttle.

I'll certainly let you all know how it works. I can't be the only one out there with a leaky scuttle ;D

having removed the glove box once to replace a servo tronic power steering relay, i think its safe to say that is the first of a thousand things that need to be removed to get to the area your talking about.

Air bag, dash and a load of other elecrical panels are in the way iirc.

I don't think I have a passenger airbag, but we'll be careful!

Dont bother with that Thompson stuff. I would try applying a polyurethane mastic using a cartridge gun, that should fit down past the pollen filter once its removed, and you can probably ease it into place if necessary with a radiator brush as you suggested. google 'rallithane' its a superb product :y
