Saxo Rain / Puddle Water Leak

I have followed the condensation threads, but they do not seem to match my problem.
Driver side front and rear very wet under carpet. Passenger side OK.
Do saxos have drain tubes from the sun roof, can not see any.
Can not as yet see any evidence of the leak coming from above, e.g. window seal.
I intend to take out the carpet this week end to try to track down the leak. Looks a long job.
Any ideas before I set to work?

they only have drain tubes at the front,drop the headcloth at the front corners and you should see them.check for possibility of water coming in through heater blower motor (drivers side underneath dash). you have to remove the scuttle panel & wiper linkages,remove the leaf gaurd at the blower intake,seal up half way with silicon or something similar,refit.also there is water drain holes at either side in where the blower intake is,check there not blocked up & file the holes slightly wider to let the water drain easier.

Thanks for the message, I did in fact find the same advice on Google, and sure enought this is where the leak was. I used silicon sealent. I now have the difficult task of removing the carpet to dry up the floor. The underfelt is sodden
