posted the same thing about a week ago, but mine is only wet on drivers footwell, think ive cured it by cleaning out under the scuttle board which is the plastic trim at the bottom of the windscreen. under this are drianage holes which can get blocked, mine just had tree leaves plastered over it.

Hi, yeah, thats the first thing I did ... scuttle panel was opened and it wasn't wet though, just covered in plenty of tree leaves so cleaned all I can -- their was no gunk/sludge what so ever.

Where are the drainage holes?

My leak is occuring in the PASSENGER FRONT / REAR -- I can see faint water drops as if the water has fallen through the centre console side where the air blowers for the feet are ... how can that happen? Im going to have a look at all the door cards/membranes soon and do the 'hosing' the car method while sitting inside to inspect where its coming from ... just need to find a sunny hot day and take it on the chin until then.

Any one have any other suggestions? And btw where are the sunroof drainage holes, and how do you guys 'clean' it out?

I have the exact same issue. I dont think its the sunroof drain holes. These holes are located near the door hinges and are a rubber tube with a kind of flared end. Poor water over your sunroof and here is where it should drain out.

As for the rear footwell, i think you will find the seal between the car body and rear lights is letting in water and it runs down the side of the boot ending up in the footwell. Water was also getting under the boot seal on mine too, so i pulled it off and filled the locating groove in the seal with silicone sealant and put it back, all fine.
