Over here in the UK we have our fair share of rain.

My car is leaking water into the cabin, it tends to be flooded behind the drivers seat.

Does anyone have a list or PET illustration of all the drain tubes on the car?
I know that the sunroof has 4 drain holes, but where else?

my initial guess is that your rear hatch seal is leaking. did exactly that on my car. of course sunroof seal could also be culprit.

there's those 4 water channels in each corner of sunroof, which you already knew. then there's one below each hatch lock, you can see the hoses of these if you take carpet off. however, if these were leaking your trunk carpet would be wet from rear.

there's also water drain canals in battery compartment (and also below fuse box?), but these I haven't checked in detail. would presumably cause driver / passanger floor to be wet, if they were stuck.

Thanks Matti.
I will check these seals.

Being in Espoo are you another Nokian like me?

rear hatch or drains in the sun roof. I would say get one of those little canopy things from walmart (or w/e the british substitute for walmart is) and keep your car under that till you figure out why its leaking

Ray, unfortunately I don't work for Nokia. Where are you located? I know few people who know for Nokia, and bunch of more who work for other companies but do projects for Nokia. I used to work 2 years for a Company who supplied cell phone mechanics for Nokia. Nokia knows well how to tweak hell out of their suppliers. ,).

Those canopy things are good for cleaning the canals. I've heard that also thick string from e-bass does the trick aswell.

How did it end, did you find the culprit for leaks?
For leak check it's convenient to
a) remove trim inside car to see where leak comes from
b) get a big bucket of water
c) go inside car, and ask a friend to pour water on car
d) listen and check where water is draining in.

or simple thing is also to go to carwash, with inside trims removed. does the same trick.

Just to add a little.
When searching for water leaks, I like to do it at night using
flashlight. If the leak is slow this will help to illuminate it.

Also remove the B pillar trim and check that the sunroof drain
tube has not become disconnected.

Also, check the seals on the rear side windows (the small ones). I had one leak on my 924S and it would soak the floor behind the seat just as you described.

I have the same leak in my car. Open the sunroof, find the drain hole at the rear corner of the opening. Put a piece of electrical tape over it. That stopped it for me. Not a good solution, but isolated the problem and works for now.

Yup like mentioned above either the Suroof drains of the rear Hatch seal. I replaced mine 7 months ago it was all cracked by the hinges.
