Well thanks guys.i have found the problem. Silly me! "Certainly not coming in through the sun roof" I said...Well that is exactly where it is coming in from. in the bright morning sunshine I went out & opened the roof up. I noticed he drain hole on the passenger side (the side the carpet is saturated) was wet, although the drivers side not as bad but damp. I poured a drop of water around the passenger side drain hole & it just sat there. Nothing coming out from under the car. I did the same on the drivers side & it slowly drained away & poured out on the ground under the car.
The passenger side drain hole is certainly blocked up. How I unblock it I dont know. A metal coat hanger is too small. I am off now to find a 7ft welders rod or something that I poke through the drain hole untill it come out the bottom of the car. I will of course do both sides. it will take 2 minutes to fix it but finding something long & thin to go through that hole could take a little longer.lol
Thanks again for your your help. I was convinced it was not the roof or hose's but more door or window seal's. but what you guys were saying made me recheck & I have found the problem. "Blocked up drain hole's on the sunroof"
Much appreciated.
By the way the old Jag unfortunately did not like watered down petrol.
I realize this is an old post but it helped me find the problem with my daughters 2000 RX300. Floors were completely soaked after a few days of heavy rain. I drew the sunroof back and on the passengers side of the "sunroof well" there was a standing pool of water and not on the drivers side. I ran some weed-eater nylon down the drainage hole and the water drained away out beneath the car. I poured more water down to be sure and it drained away too. Very helpful. Thank you.
