I checked around the foam on the passenger's side - all fine: no issues with the pipework there.

The only other things I can think of is the door seal (not an obvious, but they're not too expensive to replace.)

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Getting wet carpet and windows.... BUT I *think* I might have got somewhere..... however I need the 996-massive to clarify something for me.....
Now MY (VERY) limited understanding was that there are drains in the frunk - however, I only thought there were 2 - one either side.
Looking at these photos, there appears to be FOUR - 2 per side.... can anyone confirm this is the case because check out these pics:
Offside 1 - closest to the drivers wing-mirror
CLEAR - water pours through
Offside 2 - drivers side, but closer to the battery
This looks completely blocked with silt/crud...... do we have a winner?
Nearside 1 - closest to the passenger wing-mirror
CLEAR - water pours through
Nearside 2 - passenger side, closer to battery
CLEAR - water pours through
Not done anything about it yet, as I want clarification that I'm not digging around a grommet
Thanks in advance and apologies for the bay not being concourse!

There should be drain grommets on both sides Dan - the first picture you show has it missing. They are basically a rubber grommet with a small open ended flexible 'nose' underneath which allows the water to drain away.
This what they look like - the picture in the link shows it pointing up, it actually points down underneath.

OK - update.
All carpets are dry with exception of point around the pedal. I've cleared out the drain - lots of crud and now free flowing*
*scoop out and then use a syringe with hot water.
I checked around the foam on the passenger's side - all fine: no issues with the pipework there.
Not had chance to get the wheel off and the liner, but that's my next plan IF this doesn't work.
I've also looked further at the drain that looks like it isn't there: it IS in place - just part of the flange has worn off. Seems to be working fine.
The only other things I can think of is the door seal (not an obvious, but they're not too expensive to replace.)
or getting the windscreen re-seated....... I noticed a bit of the cowell trim is a little loose.
might just simply be that with the sheer amount of rain we've had, these minor issues are joining forces.....
Will report back.
Dan
Richard - in that diagram, there is reference to rear drains. Is it safe to assume that these are only in place if you've got a sunroof/targa? Mine' a coupe (neither option)
Sorry to hyjack the topic, but On mine, the plastic 90deg pipe that connects to the rubber grommet that discharges into the offside front wheel well has become detached.
i have tried but how on earth do you get it back together??????
