If you do a search for "water leaks" you should find plenty of advice.

 

Have you checked your rear washer pipe, using it during bad weather when it has parted in the door trim fills the passenger footwell.

Unfortunately it seems that some of the very useful older postings & pics prior to January have gone.

Hi

 

If it isn't the under door seal or debris my only suggestion is to lift the carpet etc in footwell and dry all area out then get a hosepipe spraying on the windscreen and see if any water comes in - had to resort to that with mine - turns out the leak is coming in behind the dash - not good

Hi mate,

I had this problem ( along with loads of other members here ) The answer for me was to jack the front of the car up then remove the plastic lining from under the wing, then on the bulkhead you will see some oblong plastic grills , these pop out ,,, pop them off, ( one on each side ) and remove any crap from the inside of the holes ,, open bonnet and with watering can , pour water on windscreen and watch if it now comes out of the holes, if it does , replace plastic wheel linings ( dont replace plastic grill )

hopefully problem solved ,
