    wheel wells maybe...? at least that was the go with with the VLs.. water would leak in from under the wheel well on the left side because that's where the water sat on the road when it rained

    Check the inside of the door trim and the plastic sheet that covers everything. Mine had a couple of holes punched in it and water came in through the bottom of door trim and sill.

    +1. Mine had come away from the door at the bottom. Used some silicone to re-stick it, but would be better off getting the proper stuff from an auto trimmer.

    I've also had an issue (while car was under warranty) of the front windscreen not being sealed properly which allowed a leak into the driver side footwell. now *that* took some tracking down!

    thanks for the feedback, i might get under the car with a hose this weekend,i poured a whole watering can over the windscreen seal and no water leaked in but in saying that over night if it rains the water makes its way in, frustraiting! hard to say when it started as it was garaged before the ss became family

    a few months ago i had taken a car for a test run that had a sun roof. so decided to car wash it. after the deluxe car wash i returned the car. the sun roof never leaked. even the dryer on the car wash didnt show any holes or leaks. having another look at the car after this and i notice 2 inches of water on the back passenger side floor. i reckon the water came from the roof and down the B pillar and into the carpet. all this without seeing any leaks anywhere. i asked them to clean it up so we could try car wash again and they said no. dodgy seller trying to sell me a leaky car. maybe the roof join leaks on your car??
