Your sunroof drain tubes are probably clogged.

Its either that or they're disconnected.

How did you check them? Do you see the water draining?

In the front right inside the bonnet under your “Brake-booster” chamber, there is a drain that drain all the water from the windscreen and drain it to the bottom. That small drain is blocked this water fill full the dish where the Brake-booster is located and over flowing back to the inside of the car via steering rod seal under your dashboard in your pedals.

This means your Brake-booster chamber in immersed in a pool of water. Every time you wash the car or if it’s raining, the dish get fulled with water because the rubber drain is blocked. Thus the water overflow then runs from the pedals under the carpet trough to the rear behind driver’s seat under the carpet.

You’ll thank me.
