Hi

I have same car , and same problem , with mine and this is ongoing !! only the passenger footwell gets wet , i mean , lift carpet soundproof over an inch of water , ( there is a drain plug to remove this water ? hmm , why did they fit that ??

my problem derives through this , sunroof seal leaks , at present I am gaffa taping this as a temp solution , ( long story )
there is a gutter system , runs down windscreen / doorframe , through to wheel arch , then through drain hole , if you open door look at bottom wheel arch area , between doorframe ( below hinge ) mud and debris collect there and blocks drain hole , it won't hurt to clear this as best you can , not easy , get a teaspoon , long screwdriver , and clear as much as you can , coat wire hanger helps , then you will see water drain through there too ,

hope this helps , but i AM NOT TOTALLY CONVINED THIS IS REASON , 80% SURE , in addition other source's could be
windscreen seal ? or an opening somewhere , where water collects at bonnet windscreen ( below wipers )

let me know if you sorted or if you have info , as my problem still persists , and as said above

cheers colin ( uk )

drain holes for sunroof give problems and can cause the floor to rust out so i use a rubber sealing paint and seal around outside of sunroof
