check door seals..check for any holes under the body n check under the dash also pour water near ur wipers n c if it drips out near ur tyres

strip out the plastics and take a look man... there is a gutter rail on the outside on your roof there, it may be a leak from rust or something... in the meantime let the car air out, remove the plastic door sils and lift up the capret to get it dry unless you like the smell and health effects of dampness

I had this problem. Removed the black plastic strip that covers the bottom of the front windscreen on the outside (held in my plastic clips). Cleared out all the leaves that were blocking/restricting the water escape pathways. Fixed :)

1. remove your drivers side kick panel and pull the carpet up enough so you could see the corner of your footwell

2. get a mate to pour a bucket of water quickly onto your driver's side windscreen

3. check for any leakage from under the dash

4. if theres nothing pour the bucket of water onto your driver's side fender

5. check for leakage, if its now leaking then most likely your hood release cable grommet (underneath the fender) is shot. gotta take off fender and seal off any gaps with marine grade silicone or something similar

gl!

have you got a sunroof by any chance? sunroofs have water passages that run from the roof through the a pillars and down into the wheel arches, there's a chance that yours might be blocked, try clearing with compressed air :)
