Are the draining holes from the sun roof "open" and not blocked with dirt? If you have a sun roof that is.

Close the driver's side window before you go in.

Any signs of rust at the bottom of the windshield?

no rust, drain holes cleared a few months back and windows closed. all i can think of is that it is coming in from the air intake for the hvac system because, i have seen water come out the right side vent......

Fly- check your climate control servo wiring harness connections up front. This would be up by the wipers/windshield and by the fresh air intake vent. Mine was only partially plugged in, and caused water to enter the cabin exactly as you describe; only mine was in that torrential downpour we had 3 yrs ago.

Blocked drainage pipes in the bonnet vent at the front window? Happened to me, water couldn't drain away and got in and leaked down behind the radio in to the foot well
