Remove glove box. There is a.bit of sound proffing marked sort of oblong shaped. Cut out and drill through. Its where the air con would have been put. If you have air con. No idea
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

Its a massive rubber grommet with a small bent pipe in the engine bay, you cant really miss it lol. From inside its in the top right of the passenger side footwell. You want to go through it without damaging the pipe itself if your AC still works.

Drill through right next to the aircon drain grommet, near the bottom left of it when viewed from inside the car, comes out tucked down the back of the bay, out of the way. Plus you only have to pull back the carpet a bit, rather than removing the glovebox.

some pleb had already drilled mine in the nearside scuttle area, so when rainwater splashed about it poured in from behind glovebox............quick dab of pu adhesive sorted it out. must have ran leads through it before I bought the car.

You can buy a bag of mixed grommets on eBay if you want factory looking seal or as above just bang some sealer over it after

yeah thats it.

if you drill a hole use a cable gland. looks better and seals perfectly
