Toyota Yaris soaking wet footwell?

When the wheather is wet outside, my drivers footwell is soaking wet. This has been going on for a year now and it's getting on my nerves. Ive have taken the car to 2 garages and neither one can locate where the wetness is coming from.

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME AND SAVE FROM FROM INSANITY :-(

Toyota Toyota Yaris Vehicles, Cars Soaking Wet Going

No i have not examed the wind screen and the body frame, that makes abit of sense to me now, because the year before i had a cracked windscreen and got a replacement, maybe they have not sealed it correctley.

Thanks for that tip dr nosh, i going to check it right now, i will let you know how i get on with that :-)

1. Do you have air con in this car?
I have on 3 cars (not toyota, but Vauxhall and a brand new volvo) the condensate drain was actually draining into the footwell areas causing wet areas. Right now with the damp weather the a/c will be trying to remove humidity from the air inside your car.

2. Have you examined the seal between the widscreen and the body frame. Might be letting water run down inside the footwell from behind the dash.
