Where to repair water leak? (Ford B-Max Cork)

    In the past month or so, I noticed that my car windows were very fogged up in the mornings. Car dehumidifiers (sponges) did not seem to solve the issue.

    However, when my car was parked over Christmas, water accumulated in the footwells and mould was beginning to form on the passenger seat. The car obviously has a water leak.

    Where would be the best place to bring the car to sort out this issue? It's a 10 year-old Ford B-Max and I'm based in Cork.

    Any decent mechanic can fix a leak.

    Our 2012 Focus also has a water leak issue - dampness in the left rear passenger footwell as well as water around the spare wheel in the boot. Not sure if the B-Max is based on the Focus but they probably share some components so could be the same issue.

    Google/Youtube will give you some ideas of where the water is coming in - the air vents behind the rear bumper seem to be a common place. The rubber trims around the doors/boot are also a possible culprit.

    But as @Henry Ford III says, any decent mechanic should be able to sort it for you (our Focus will be going to our mechanic one of these days to get checked out before it gets any worse).

    Thank you very much.

    I will bring it to my local garage.
