I know the boots are susceptable to leaking as for the front carpets being wet?! I dunno. Are your windows all the way up??
Other than that I'm not sure.
Getting someone hosing down the car whilst you are in it will reveal something hopefully.
Is the headlining wet at all???

If i remember correctly the sunroof drain tubes run down the a and c posts, I think there may be a joiner for the tubes in the footwell

found the problem, it was the grommit that holds the cables to the bonnet pull, it wasnt put in properly and all the water was pi55ing in from there, pulled out over 10 litres of water from my carpet, ended up having to strip the whole interior out

Those sort of jobs are a ball breaker, nothing gained but a headache and backache, at least you are an expert in that department! Good Job!
