I thought I'd check it, as my car seems to be suffering from every other common fault that I've read about on the forum.

I couldn't see how to lift the carpets to check, but I did insert a strip of card into the slots where the footwell mat retainers are fitted and it came out damp

I haven't checked the rear drains yet, as it's a tourer, so that can wait until I'm fitting the towbar, so will have to remove the side covers in the boot.
Hi Dave.
Follow the link below as to how to lift the rear carpet, it will soon tell you if you have water soaked into the sponge or water lying under the carpet, if its in the rear it's in the front.

I’ve just lifted the rear carpet and can confirm that there is water in the footwell.

I’ll have a look at the videos, thanks.

HI Dave.
I am afraid you only have one choice now and that's to remove the seats, the centre console and take out the carpets, clean up and dry the floor pan, let the carpets dry or purchase a carpet from car without a sunroof and put it all back together, if you buy a carpet the whole job could be done in one day or over a weekend, it took me weeks to dry my carpets out, back in 2012

I would say now is not the time to try and sort out the sunroof drains, because our great English weather, but remember check those plenums.
