Anyone got any suggestions on how to stop rain getting into my fuse box please?

I've just had to replace some fuses due to water corrosion. I wondered if there are any known places for water ingress around the fuse box. It doesn't look an easy area to seal.

The seal under the wind screen frame,holes in bulkhead footwells under the heater box and around clutch master can result in water tracking towards the fuse box.

The vents in the bulkhead are a prime source of leaks to the fuse box. Open the vents wide and check the foam seal, it's probably torn or missing. Get some new seals and glue them to the bulkhead, not the vent. Cover your fuse panel in an inverted plastic bag.
