Grommets missing in the bulkhead, is the steering column boot intact?

after doing the above, including checking the drain holes are not blocked at each end of the scuttle, the best thing to do is pull out the seats, carpet, and soundproofing, lower dash sections, unhinge the fuse box so it's hanging then get a hose and simulate the rain..

..set aside half a day and you will no doubt locate your problem. plus you can put the soundproofing and carpet on a radiator and dry and air them out.. it sounds dramatic but it only takes no more than a couple of screwdrivers and a 17mm socket to do..

hi, also check the seals around your rear tailgate push button.these perish with time and allow water to enter the boot, and as water always tries to get to the lowest point it finds its way under the rear seats along the floor, into the floor pan in the front.Sounds incredible, but it does happen. Good luck.
