Hello, I have the same problem - did you ever find the problem and a solution?

Do you have a sunroof?

If you have the underfoot hatches you can remove plastic then cut out carpet with a Stanley knife to help with mopping up. Plastic will then hide cut line and make things look tidy.

I have water on driver's side at the moment. Not sure if is rain leaking in, or hole in line to rear window washer (which is on right I think). I do have to hold the stalk for a while, as though the pipe is being refilled...

After doing the cut out trick and sponging out about 4 pints of water I've pulled the bungs that are exposed and parked with slope to rear to hopefully let more water free itself and trickle out.

Couldn't see more water settling as wiper was pulled, but did seem to be some after last night's rain. Decided to check the windscreen / plenum drains. Not as clear as they should be, so scooped, rinsed and agitated until they were. These are the two holes at far left / right of the black trim under wipers. They drain into a "pocket" that you can see when bonnet is lifted, and those pockets have a ~10mm hole to drain to wheel arches.
