Water leak fixed (not from the drainage pipe)

[abyss]

I parked my GS outside of the garage few months ago for few nights (car is always garaged during my last 3 years ownership). It ended up with water puddle inside the passanger footwell.

I dismantled almost everything from back seat to front seat. Checked the famous drainage tube which has already been cut and fixed. Checked the pollen fiter which is bone dry.

Finally i got my wife hosing down the car when i was inside the car with a touch. I found the leak was from the passange front end next the fuse box. It turned out there is a hole inside the chassis joint. There are factory sealant around it but looks like was a miss spot. That area is directly under the front windshield water drainage holes. Thanks to the Maserati QC department.

I fixed it with some Sikaflex polyurethane and water tested.

I hope this will help anyone experiences similar the thing. See attached photos.

The water went inside the cabin from here.

Good bit of investigative work, will surely help others with similar problems

Could you tell me where you sealed it please.
I have the exact same problem, and can squirt water directly down the 20 odd holes around the bonnet hinge area,
And water seeps into the metal folds of the inside of the car, by the bonnet release catch.
I know that's the opposite side to your car, but I'm guessing it's the same principle ?
Thanks in advance

Ive circled amd pointed the area needs to be sealed.
