I'm a bit puzzled by this. The waist trim is on the doors yes? If so then water ingress should be inside the doors and therefore flow down and out of the bottom drain holes onto the top of the sill/bottom of door and away to the ground. Can you explain further how the water was getting inside the car please

I had a missing plenum trim clip that caused water to get into the drivers footwell

Doesn't appear to be any clips missing, was wondering about the screen surround though, can't tell if it's in okay condition or not!

See if you can spot anywhere where the chrome trim has twisted a bit so the rubber/plastic bit isn't tight against the glass anymore.

Thanks, will take a look. I did suspect the lower corners as it doesn't look quite right. I've got some tiger seal, is that okay for the job?

Give the boot a good coating with talc powder,may show up where water ingress is. Also car will smell nice.

I have the same issue - surprisingly I do have a sunroof, and the drains weren't the issue!
Mine was also the seal around the scuttle clip mounting points, silicone did the job.

That's a thought, had the scuttle panel off yesterday to fit a pollen filter and clean up the bottom of the windscreen. Did you seal them from the inside or outside?
