Default Puddles in footwell

Hi

Okay this may seem like a daft thread as without seeing the car, it's unlikely that anyone will know the answer....but...

here goes...

car parked uphill with heavy rain - large puddles in driver's footwell
the screen surround is rusty in places but has been sealed with black windscreen silicone until I get it done properly.

what other places can water get in? wiper mounts? air vent 'box'?

Of course I want to avoid taking dash out if all it needs are some rubber washers on the wiper mounts or a dab of sealant here or there - it's a marque 1 144

Any suggestions

window seal. I have the same problem now. It does leak there. Through the rust, which is soon to be solved.
Doesn't mean there might be other leaks, but the glass, or rather the rubber or seal around it is the main culprit.
