Renault Scenic leaks into driver's footwell

As you suggest . sun roof drains common fault .Could also check any bulkhead drains in corners if applicable to that car .This is some info from others with same fault , should help .



for the newer generation scenics... you have to take the plastic off where the wipers are, then take the wipers off, then the other plastic which sit over the wipers. then either side of the car behind the suspension mounts, are 2 rubber tubes around 5 inchs high, unblock the 2 holes in the centre of the tubes. and presto ! thats your problem sorted.

my problem is a 53 plate secnic new shape, that has water in the storage comparments in the front..... not a huge amount but enough to soak the carpet in there ... any help

I too have had some water recently in the drivers footwell. Last night I opened the front sunroof, you will see a hole on either side near the front UNDER the black flap, this is where the excess water from a heavy rain fall will enter then flow down a tube, exiting behind each front wheel (behind the wheel arch). I tested the left side first pouring water carefully down the hole, this exited fine behind the left front wheel. I then tried the right side, No water exitting. I undune the two star screws on the wheel acrh, pop the wheel arch open, dont worry this is not that hard. You will then see a large amount of mud built up just inside. Pull all this out and then the water should exit fine afterwards. Double check by pouring water again down the hole, this should then exit behind the wheel arch. Ta Dah!
