    It's most likely the black plastic panel behind the bonnet is either cracked or not fitting correctly anymore.
    Another cause of water on the floor is a blocked sunroof drain but this does not usually wet the pollen filter.

    If you have the alpine roof (factory sunroof) then it could be a blocked drain from that.

    Some details in these threads that should help Phill:

    A-pillar trim or windscreen molding or blocked a/c are all possible causes. But windscreen molding dripping onto pollen filter sounds like could be your issue.

    Thanks guys ,black windscreen cover behind bonnet wasn't sitting flush on screen ,will have to go through it with a fine tooth come and clean out all the drain holes ,it's done 126000 so plenty of time to fill up with junk .
