Annoying water leak
I left the car parked in the street for 2 hours some days ago... lucky me it rained! (just washed... as usual).
It was a pretty heavy downpour over a short period of time.
When I got into the car, I noticed some drops had fallen inside, at the far right side of the dashboard, from in between the bottom part of the dashboard and the top of the glovebox.
I looked but found no way for water to come in. Any ideas where to look for the leak?

I had a small leak from the space at the top of the door behind the mirror...the molding had been pinched and had a small rip in it. I just used a small amount of silicone and patched the rip, no leak
Just a thought. Oh, was in spain this past Nov. What a great time!!!

Does sound like a window seal leak. I had a minor one as well in the same place. Try to find the spot, a little bit of black silicon goop should solve the problem cost = $5.00. Or opt for a new seal, figure $250 or more (euros for you..) assuming that they do not break your window or rear-view mirror in the process.

Check also too that your Front bonnet seal is not broken at the top as there is a drainage point in your front bonnet that allows water to go through that point as well. (Behind your glovebox onto the passenger floor).
