Check your door/window seals mate. they could be the problem if they are perished.
Also check the side tension cables.

Could it be the front drain holes you see next to the rain tray/drain tray (when you open bonnet) where leaves collect and block it - seen water collect inside from this a few times!

at work we had a look today and a mate sprayed the jet was on to the door/window as i sat and watched from inside. it seems to be coming from the window seals all the way down through the door and out at the bottom of the door where the little gap is straight into a pool! so where do i get these window seals? anyone got any laying around? front left side? free swim up for grabs haha!

The door window seals are not designed to stop ALL water getting to the indide of the doors, therefore the MEMBRANE behind the door cards must be in good condition and stuck to the door ALL THE WAY ROUND, and if any folds have to be there they are folded / overlapped etc. so water is thrown towards the exterior panel of the door….any water getting into the door(s) should exit through the drain holes (if kept clear) at the bottom of the door(s)…

..past owners may have installed / changed speakers or windows or just taken the cards off to see what's behind, then remove / damage the membrane and just 'slap' it back…..yes i'm burbling….

…put basically pull the door cards off and check the condition of the membrane…any tough plastic sheeting will do….
