Has the car been sat for a while undriven, when I first got mine it had been sat for a while and suffered a damp issue. It soon dried out. The other thing you can check is that the drain holes arnt blocked causing a leak inside. If you take off the black plastic cover by the wipers and check the drain holes in either corner.

Not had a new windscreen has it, if they arnt sealed could be a leak point.

It could also be the air con drain pipe mis routed and leaking inside as opposed to outside the car.

My money would be on the heater intake behind the plastic panel at the base of the windscreen.

There is a spot welded lip under there which is not sealed, water comes in and soaks the pollen filter and drips into the passenger footwell, I've had the same problem with both my zs.

Might be worth checking all floor bungs, capillary action. I used to get flooded rear footwells in my old Firenza, was the roll cage footplate fixings causing it.

My son pulled off the heater pipe, that runs behind the sound deadening felt, with his BIG feet. This dripped very slowly but enough to wet carpet.
