Default Help?... a leak that continues!

Hi all, hope everyone is well .

Well we have had the first spell of rain for the first time in weeks and having had issues with front footwear carpets get wet in the corners.. today has resulted in the carpet being wet again!.. it's in the front footwells in the outer corners where the inner sill area is.

Here's what I've done so far:
Headlining off and sunroof drains sealed and then zip tied
Sunroof tubes sealed to the rubber connectors in all 4 arches and the connecting pieces sealed to the arches.
Plenum chamber has been rodded (entire length of plenum from one side of the car to the other) all drains clear.
Chrome trim around windscreen removed, clips sealed and windscreen sealant applied around windscreen (front and back!). Rear screen black clips and the retaining push pin things, removed and sealed and chrome trim sealed to the bodywork.
Chrome trim waistline trim little plastic bolts have been sealed ( reverse side of rear quarter panels)
Boot floor has been seam sealed along all seams!
Rear lights also sealed

As a result boot etc is fine and dry now.. trims around windscreen pilars are now dry but.. I am still get a damp carpet in the front corners on both sides and have completely run out of ideas....
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Rob
