Hi , I suspect my 06 has a blocked drain , yesterday I heard water sloshing from side to side behind the dash when cornering , for a week or two I’ve been parked on a level surface , but when last night I parked on a cambered street water poured out from behind the front left wheel , the heater intake drains are clear
Thanks Dave
Ps the car doesn’t have a sunroof

Hiya, had the same, ended up having to replace the heater motor when the water flooded in, pita to fix believe me, I used a curtain wire to poke through the back corner drains in the scuttle, with careful poking you don't have to remove the wipers and grille. only took a year for the sponge sound proofing under the carpet to finally dry out.

Agree prob the scuttle drain holes are blocked with detritus, leaves, mud, crud that sort of thing.
