What about under the carpet at the front? A very common point where water enters the front is via the scuttle drain by the pollen filter, it fills up & overflows into the car ...... but into the front footwell. There is a LOT of sound deadening which could soak up water.

I'm looking for the guide .... but can't find it  :-[

Read the link!  :-? ...... it's all there! It's not the pollen filter that's blocked, it's the drain at the bottom that's blocked. I would imagine that if you lift your carpet at the front, you'll find it's pi$$ed wet through underneath too .....
