Is your rear wash/wipe working correctly?

Water leak found :- it was leaking through the rubber for the throttle cable, some leaves/sludge and dirt where stopping the water from draining away and thus causing it to back up and leak into the cabin. Sorted now

Thanks all for the input.

Over the last year I have occasionally had water on the front passenger footwell and later above the passenger door handle.
Last week as the weather was hot and dry I decided to investigate and fix the issue, so promptly removed A pillar them passenger vanity mirror unclipping the wire, the removing the handle above the door.
The cause was two fold, a loose connection to the drainage channel at the sunroof and the A pillar tubing was loose in the dashboard connector, also blocked at wheel arch. I purchased a metre of clear tubing from B & Q for £2 or so, the original tubing was in good condition so added some to extend length as it was 2mm short, all cleaned through and tested, but as I finished re assembling all fitments I realised I had left vanity wire under headliner so had to remove all again. retested with a small amount of water before re fitting everything, there was a really tiny hole visible where sunroof spring strip for wind deflected is attached, so sealed it up, all good took an hour to do, no more leaks.
