Just so you know - leaving the windows open etc will not dry out under the carpet. I have actually taken my carpet and underlay out of my car (A SEAT, but same difference) and it was absoutely sodden. The carpet felt dry to the touch.
The telling sign was that my CD wallet was alwaya damp on the side facing the floor.

Seeing as its a mk4 Golf it will also be a good idea to remove both the inner wing plastic liners & clear the pile of dirt & rotten leaves out from each side, another designed in rust trap in a few years time!

Hey mss1tw
Did you sort out your leak? was it the windscreen?
I'm hearing more and more of this particular issue, I had it with my Bora (Windscreen), it could be the Battery drain hole (underneath Battery - but to be honest I think this only affects Passats). It could be the Sunroof blocked drain holes, or the Pollen Filter. (Most likely).
The other possibility that I heard when I was researching the problem (But only in Golf Mk4) was that the rear wiper mechanism body seal fails and water gushes into the boot and then into the footwells.
Does your Toledo have a rear washwipe?

Hey Charles, no not yet! I need to do the doors first then take yet another look at the pollen filter area. It's not got a rear wash wipe.
I took it to a windscreen place who did some bits with some liquid and an airline, they didn't think that it was the screen. It was £200 odd for a new screen - to much to just try it on a whim, sadly!
