Most probably coming in from where the heater blower sits in the rain tray, commonly caused by the rubber drain holes getting blocked with leaves and dirt etc

Does she have a steel sunroof? if so check the drain tube on the drivers side.
could also be coming in via the windscreen seal  :dontknow:
mine was leaking from a few places….  :roll:

Seeing as the screen seal's been disturbed I'd squirt some sealant under the seal and see it that helps (both sides of the seal, window and body all way around)

Another thing to check is that often water will trickle down the ariel lead thru the bulkhead if its not sealed with a tight grommet

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
