Water intrusion

Water is leaking somehow into passenger compartment of my 2009 Vantage after just 10,000 miles. If car is parked out in rain, water gets inside and ends up inside dash. When going around a corner, water sloshes from side to side in dash. Warranty expired. Dealer says this is now my problem. Has anyone experienced or heard of water intrusion into pass compartment of any model aston?

WTH! a bit of helpful advice from the dealer should and would be expected in such situations!

....sorry I don't have any real opinion to offer on the water leak except I've never heard of such an issue on these cars. I'm sure one of the Pros on here such as Irish will be able to offer constructive advice based on experience. Got to be something simple like a miss fitting plug in the the windshield, cowl, or bulkhead area. Can't really be a windshield leek in this day and age can it?

Is the windshield the original, or has it ever been removed/replaced? If so, it might not have been done properly.

Otherwise, I'm not sure how that could happen. There shouldn't be a way for it to get through unless you've got a missing or improperly-installed seal somewhere.

Good luck, that's a crap situation!
