Dripping wagon

RECENTLY I bought an EA Falcon wagon for a work car and when it rains water floods the front floor, particularly on the passenger side. You can actually watch the water drip from under the glovebox. Have any other readers experienced the same problem?

SOUNDS as if there's a sealing problem on the dash. I haven't heard of a widespread problem with the EA, so it's more likely to be a one-off related to your car. The EA is now getting old and it could be many things, from rust around the windshield or in the plenum to holes in the dash itself. If it has been worked on by a previous owner they could have left seals out or not refitted them correctly. The seals could be old and brittle and no longer sealing. Try putting it through a car wash and trying to locate the leak.
