Water ingress

Hi all, I have noticed that I am getting rain water into my passenger side footwell in my 2005 rrs, I have had the sunroof drains cleared but the water is still coming in? After further investigation I have noticed the water is running down the square plastic tube that the electrics run down into the footwell on the left hand side, has anyone had water come in this way before, it is the standard windscreen etc and the the rest of the carpets are bone dry, are there any other drain holes I've missed, any info much appreciated, thanks

The water will be running down the outside of the windscreen pillar - between the pillar and and the trim in through the oval shaped hole at the bottom.

There was s service bulletin on this a few years back.

I had the same issue last year. - I sealed the upper clips with some silastic and taped up the bottom oval hole and sealed with sealant. Fixed it straight away.

The service bulletin provides extra sealing around the oval hole.

See this post and the links inside it.
