But I have removed that in the past to change a door hinge. It has electrical stuff behind it. I don't know what, but I had to remove it to get to the door hinge bolts. So, I was looking for more detail about it is that I seal.

The rubber parts suggested I check in the engine compartment are fine. I still cannot find this vent in the footwell, I know the photo is not great, but where is it?

The footwell vent is on the passenger side usually.
The driver gets a "crotch freezer" vent under the steering column instead.

OK, no vent. I will leave everything off and carpet lifted as much as I can get it to dry out and then soak with a hose and see if I can see a leak.

Part no.1
It is part no. 1 in attached drawing, but I never checked if there is such a cover at the driver side as well. I believe on earlier models the cover could be opened or was spring loaded for additional ventilation. This part no.1 only covers the gap in the metal sheet. Water can enter the void behind this cover via the grid in front of the wind screen and is supposed the exit via the drain holes in the door sills. Might be good to check the drain holes as well, as accumulated muck from leaves etc could be blocking them.

No leaves or anything, I checked that today as well. I have put down paper towel as a tell tail as it is due to rain! Lets see if that helps.

hi pretty sure i had to remove the panel thats against your knees there are only 3 screws and it slides out ! sort of ! the vent is near the red bonnet lever but on the door pillar so you may have to delve further its got to be there .
