another leaky vectra c - help?

Getting a build up of rain water in my 2003 vectra c which pours into footwells down the side pillars when i drive.

THIS PROBLEM DEFINATELY ISN'T DUE TO BLOCKED DRAINS IN THE SCUTTLE PANEL UNDER WINSCEEN AS THESE ARE FINE AND WORKING AS THEY SHOULD!!

The water seems to "pool" somewhere when standing in rain, can hear it splashin around when i drive off then it comes into car.

Car has no sunroof, could it be seals on windscreen cos just can't find anywhere else water can build up that much?

been at it with hosepipe today, doors and door seals fine only comes in when u drive after its been standing in rain.

water just pours in from behind dash in corner of footwells, seems to run down the inner part of body shell. Its gotta be gathering somewhere behind dash then the movement of driving/cornering makes it come in.

only conclusion i can come up with is windscreen seal gone somewhere and its leaking in that way, just seems strange it only comes in when car moves tho!!!

could be drain holes in door bottom blocked but may also be membranes between door and door trim damaged/missing if not stuck at sides and bottom will allow water to enter wrong side of seal!
