If you have checked the seals around the front doors and windows and they appear to be in good condition, other areas you check are the sunroof drains (if fitted), the drainage channels around the front scuttle above the windscreen wiper motor and around the battery tray. If this does not locate the cause it may be a blocked air conditioning drain hose that is causing the leak as this runs behind the dashboard near the footwells.
