Leaking from behind dash onto floor
I washed my car today and found water in the footwells on both sides (not much but enough to concern me). I could feel that it had dripped down from behind the dashboard.
The most likely culprit looks to me to be the scuttle vent but does that really make sense? Maybe the windscreen seal? Any idea's?

Wiper shaft seals as Jose says. Lower corners of windscreen. Scuttle vent is well drained so only if rust is present or drain pipe is blocked. Quarterlights (No Draught Ventilators) can't take a direct blast from a hose but you would have noticed that.
Scuttle vent drain tube.

Correct fitting. Excuse resolution. Snipped from a much larger Photo.
