Water in the fusebox

Featured Replies

So, I was having this problem http://briskoda.net/favorit-felicia-fun-forman/new-felicia-owner-cannot-figure-out-how-turn-off-parking-lights/151597/ where the lights turned on by themselves, and after reading more on this excellent forum, I found similar tales of woe.

One often suggested fix was to check if there was water in the fusebox.

So today, I searched around, found the fusebox and opened it, and water poured out.

The car had stood in heavy rain for 10 hours prior, so its hardly surprising.

Anyways, when I looked in the motorcompartment, I noticed a very soggy piece of foam just above the fusebox. I'm guessing this is where the water drips into the system.

I also noticed that the seal on the front windscreen had lost its grip, so I'm assuming thats how water came onto the foam part.

What is the recommended fix for this? Just close the seal, or is there a way to encase the fusebox in tarp?

A new screen rubber is needed, or at least sealing by a windscreen company
