are the water flaps at the base of the windscreen clear of debris and leaves etc ?

lift the bonnet, on either side of the engine bay up against the bulkhead and there are little rubber flaps to allow water to run out off the windscreen and scuttle. they get clogged up with leaves and stuff and may just need cleaning out as the water builds up in there.

I would trace the cable back from the latch to find where it enters the bulkhead and passes through to the inside, i suspect theres a displaced or perished grommet and water is running along the cable and entering the car at this point?

As said further up make sure the drain holes in the plastic near the windscreen and the flaps near the bonnet struts are clear.
