Default water leaking in

hi people sins having my car painted and built back up again just over 9 months ago there has been water coming in at the back of the driver seat on the floor i have noticed that my drivers seat belt gets abit wet to. Does any one have any ideas where it can be comin in from.
It only seems to do it when you drive it in the rain.

hope you can help cheers

check the door seal at the top isnt squashed down,had this hassle myself and stripped the whole interior out to find that it was coming in from the corner of the door,id say if it was the sunroof youd have a wet seat or centre console

i have the carpet out and there is nothing there. If it waas comin in from the sunroof would the roof lining not be wet. (Mine is dry) Had a look at sun roof before it all looks good and in side roof is mint.

Will give the door seal a good.
