So i've located the source of a leak and its s problem with the bulkhead to windscreen seal.

There isn't one.

I've done a bit of searching online and the new foamy seals are easy enough to come by but people don't seem to be a big fan of them. Anyone know a good place to get actual rubber seals or is it only the new foam ones available now?

I would say neoprene of the correct size from ebay will be fine, my seal started to leak so I fixed it the traditional land rover owners way, a nice neat bead of silicone applied from the outside no leaks since.

The foam seals aren't great. My solution was to cut 1/8" - 1/4" away from the outside and then masked up and filled the gap with black sealant (I used PU stuff, not silicone). Result was a nice waterproof seal and no real visible difference.

I also sealed the windscreen hinge blocks properly where they bolt through the bulkhead. Result is no more wet footwells in the rain.
