Hi all!
Every year I have the same issue with flooding in my mk2 gtx. When the weather gets bad I end up with a lagoon under my passenger seat. So bad I have to keep lining the floor with nappies to try and soak it all up
Lately it's been somewhat dry so I don't need to drive around with a floor full of bloated nappies. Anyway, the past couple of hours it's been absolutely hammering it down, so I thought it would be a good chance to investigate where the hell it's coming in from. Nothing. Everything is bone dry. Any ideas?
Cheers.

If you watch the above video, in this episode the guy is replacing the rear drain tubes so you can see where they are. Its on a mk1 golf but the mechanism is the same and the drain tubes follow a similar route.
A regular query.
Also check the drain holes for the sun roof on front scuttle area under the rain tray that covers the heater and wiper motors.
You'll see the sunroof drain pipes disappearing into the inner wing. That area gets blocked with leaves and other crap.
If blocked you'll notice water marks that indicate previous ingress, water can then flow through any missing or damaged grommets carrying wires to the fuse box below.
