Can anyone shed some light on a water leak coming in, somewhere round the
passenger air vent area , running along the parcel shelf and dripping on to
the carpet,
The air vents and pipework have been removed and all holes sealed up, the
windscreen has also been sealed, ??
and its still leaking in,

TIA

sometimes it can find its way under the seam trims, only needs a pin hole,
then it will find its way out, this was happening on my 93 cooper, it could
be coming in near the roof & running down the inside of the pillar,

Hello Steve,
Forgot to mention, it only leaks in when I'm moving,
so I assume the wheel is throwing it up,

It could also be finding it's way in through your door seal perhaps?

Perhaps you are pissing your pants. Quit drinking so much beer while
driving.

I thought of that Taff, but its getting on to the parcel shelf, ?? close to
the air vent, ??
could water get to the shelf from a door seal ??

Only if water is getting in. In that case it would probably be wet.
