Might be a windscreen leak, down the A pillar.

If you have a considerable amount of water in the footwell it’s worth checking under the seat as well. Water can flow under the seat and gather in the well under the seat. Put the seat right back. Put your hand underneath the split between front and rear carpets to the foam. Give it a squeeze to see if any water comes out.

After the storm of last night have been out to the car and there is a good couple of pints of water in the footwell, luckily the carpets are pulled back in an attempt to dry them So must be around the window? But where am I going to be looking and is there anything that needs to be taken off to get there? Really starting to annoy me! As it has been a good car for the last 4 years |

Can you put some food colour in some water & pour it in at specific areas one at a time. You may have a blood bath in the car but you will get a quick verdict! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Just off topic a little, you might try one of the cheap endoscope type cameras that connect to a phone (cheap off ebay). You'll be suprised how useful at getting to those places you can't quite see or reach. Possibly just the thing to locate your leak. Good luck with it. |

Sat and checked internet while dehumidifier is working and read about the roof rack, took mine off last year and thought I had replaced all bolts and taped all the holes? Anyway the one on the front drivers side is missing and you can poke a screw driver through to roof Maybe? Hopefully this the problem? As I have sealed it up and yet to dry the carpets again Might be lucky this time

New Freelanders without roof rails, that front bolt hole is covered by a thin film.
