This Citroën has a leak from the panel above the screen, which is leaking water down the A-pillar down to the carpet on the driver's side floor panel.
Solution: It's not immediately apparent how to fix this leak. This panel probably comes off, which is what we will do if the customer gives us the go-ahead to do the work on this car. Cleaning it up and reviving the rubber seals may fix it, it may be some body-sealant on seams has come away... I'm sure it's not a difficult fix. We will then dry the car, and although it has already been decontaminated with an anti-microbial, it looks like there is some mould on the bottom of the rear seat which requires some attention.
It also appears that somebody has removed a bung from the bottom of the floor pan, almost certainly to allow water to drain out of the bottom. Over the years we have seen this kind of thing a number of times, we have also seen people drill holes to let water out, or even bash holes through with a hammer and nail. For the record, we don't recommend this as a solution!
Many of the leaks we find are caused by water spraying up from the road, so making holes in the bottom of your car is never going to work.
