check drainage holes on scuttle panel, they can clog wich dirt/grime/leaves etc causing water to leak in behind dash
X2 on that.
There both down in the left and right corners.
The first one is easy to see but the other might not be. Depending on model it can be hidden under the computer management control box.
Which is easy to remove to gain access.
Both drain hole should have rubber sleeves going down them which taper at the bottom and they can get well and truly blocked.
Mine did last summer and my whole floor pan was like a swimming pool.
Carpets out, sound proofing out and 6 very hot summer days just to dry it out!

Are the hoods tight? Can you see any moisture or run marks on the inside of any of the windows?
the rear window frames can rot which means you can get water coming in the rear window and ending up on the parcel shelf which in turn ends up in the foot wells.
Good look sorting out her dampness.
