It might be the pollen filter seal, or the door seals being blocked.

Suggest you park pointing down, so it drains the other way.

I had similar in my last Superb..turned out to be the front part of the underbody tray that runs the whole length of the bottom of the car had which had got ripped off in a big puddle, it turned the remaining tray it into a big water scoop forcing water up through various Grommets and other holes near the footwell and bulkhead. a new front underguard cost £70 but cured it.

That said the Garage fitted a new Windscreen before they thought to look under the car, they had convinced themselves that water was ingressing there..I never got a bill for the Windscreen though.

It turned this problem was a pipe on the air conditioning unit cost £6 fitting bundles more, the pool was only forming when the Ac was it got into the computer bringing up all sorts of lights and telling me i had 2000 miles in the tank.
