Can anyone help with this the passenger side footwell is wet it only happens when it rains
It's not the heater matrix that was done last year. Hope someone can help.

the normal cuprit is the rubber bung underneath the carpet. seal that up and it will be fine.

next best bet it to lift the carpet on that side and sprinkle some talcum powder round the area. you will then be able to see the the path of any water coming in.

Check the cabin fan intake seal -- it draws its air from under the base of the screen so remove the wipers and remove the plastic moulding cover then check that the 'lip' of the intake tract is still higher than the surface pan. This was a problem in one car I handled as the 'lip' had cracked so any time the car was exposed to water, it would seep in through there.
Good luck...

He's spot on. I had the same problem with the passenger side flooding when it would rain. Turns out the bung underneath the carpet was done for. Sealed it up and now it's water proof.
