open the doors and by the hinges there is a black nipple. This becomes blocked and therefore renders them useless and they end up storing water. By giving them a squeeze you should get all the cr** out and you should have cured the leak. Do to both sides and then dry out the footwells...

I have the same problem with my golf. Where is the nipple you talking about.. My left rear mat is soak with water. Just happened about two days ago after the heavy rain. Could I have the same problem?

Nipple is just below the top hinge. Every mk4 has them.

Looks like this
