Ta for that. I shall certainly have a look at the weekend when she comes
over. But she tells me the carpet isn't wet, just under the seats, mostly
the driver's side.

Shot in the dark but if the seat support is wet and the carpet isn't the
the water is coming in new or directly above the rear seat.
If it is not a sun roof problem then maybe there is a leak from the
floor pan. I have a 405 - totally different car I agree, but under the
seat is a big round plug about 125mm diameter from memory which gives
access to the fuel gauge sender and the top of the tank. I would imagine
if this did not seal properly then when driving in the rain, water would
be driven in through this plug and hence into the seat area.

=================================================

Place a piece of paper between the top of the door and the door seal and
close the door on it. If you can pull it out easily look for signs of
water ingress in the general area.

Brilliant. I haven't lifted the rear seats for ages (I have no big needs as
a cargo), but it seems to me there are 2 of these big plugs.
