same happened to mine last weekend so i simply ripped all the interior out (seats, carpet and sound proofing under carpet) then put hose pipe on till you see water running somewhere mine happened to be one of the opening rear quarters but yours is probably boot seal or seals round rear lights, remember to make sure you dry all the sound deadening out properly i've had mine by radiators for a couple of days now

vroooom ptssssh

best way to get rid of the puddle to help dry it out is take it to your local BP and hoover it out lol

sunroofs drain into the sills and if your sills have been welded up and no drails left they will fill up and then drain into the car thru the inners, worth listening out for water in the sills while your driving

ive had em leak thru the spoiler holes or rear lamps then you brake and the water washes from the boot into the foot wells

bought a 3i once that the spare floated in, was right up to the top of the spare wheel well, mate drove it home and got a right shock at the 1st roundabout slowing for 70 to 0 tidal wave thru the car

my s2 is the same but in the front foot wells there is swimming pool in mine. i got more water than a fire engine

this is not my thread but im glad you said that coz iv had new iner and outer sills on the passenger side so i think you might of found my leak

Would check the rear light seals and also the boot seals mate.

screen rubber, sills filled, fuse box area rotten, battery tray area rotten, inner arch rotten

also maybe the heater matrix leaking but you'd prob notice the engine seizing if your losing lots

JamboRS

check door seal at top corner of door when closed

same happened to me and it was the door seal that was flat and not sealin right,the water would leak into inside of door and run onto passenger rear footwell
