Botangs hole is water ingress behind the glove box and just drips on to the fusebox on that side.

I've just dug out this age-old thread as my water ingress problem has returned with a vengeance. The description above perfectly describes my current situation, so thanks MJ for these nuggets of information.
The orange squidgy things certainly seem to me to be a design fail on the part of Audi. I'm expecting that a 3D-designed replacement part would fit the bill but the material the current part is made from probably negates any possibility of this being achievable.
Has anyone attempted to replace these orange parts either side of the transmission tunnel?
