My daughter's 206 is letting in water, which is lying in a puddle beneath
the back seats and making them wet. She tells me that someone at work has
the same problem, as does a friend of that workmate, so I assume it's common
on these. Any experience of it and how it's sorted would be handy before I
get to have a look at it.

Go on, give us a hint...

Since the water ingress is probably around the back of the body, is it a
three door? Five door? Estate? Convertible? Sunroof?

Doh. It's a five door, no sunroof. She tells me that the door panels are
dry, as is the parcel shelf. She hasn't lifted the boot mat yet, but hasn't
noticed any wet in the boot.

running down behind the door card and dripping off the bottom edge (this
happens on quite a few cars)

On 205's, the common path was the rear light clusters... Since it's a 206,
here's a hint for you : the space beneath the rear seats makes a kind of
pool, where water may be accumulated. My usual suspects would be the
taildoor's seal.
Mine has a similar behaviour, due to an incorrect door clearance (I should
fix it... damn I tell that on any heavy rain day), this letting water go
it's way and making the rear floor carpet wet.

HTH,
