   i have just been out for a drive in my saxo and noticed when i got in it that there was water running down the drivers side a piller coming from by the alarm sensor running down the piller and going down the side of the dash and then i found the material piece above the pedals was wet aswell and a bit of the carpet
   
   i think its the top of the windscreen as the front of the headlining is wet, ive removed the lights from the consloe on the roof and checked the arieal and sunroof seal and there good.
   
   could i get rac or auto windscreens to seal it for me or do it myself? but what sealent is best to use and wont damage the paint if i balls it up and have to try again?
   
   thanks in advance

   A bit of advice mate,DO NOT DO THIS YOURSELF.I tried it,and ended up cracking the screen,and it cost me £75 in the end,also due to water problem,but after having a new one fitted,it seems to have done the trick.
