Soaking wet floor behind passenger seat!!

Its been peeing it down with rain recently, It turns out our mini cooper (2002)apears to be letting in lots of water! I wrung out a soaking chamois this morning placed in the area behind the passenger seat and there tonnes more water where that came from.

I've read a few threads on here about various leaks though most appear to be related to the footwell or the boot. those that i have found relating to our particulr problem mention 'sticky tape' and a lack of a seal.... as far as i can see the inside of the main body has seals etc all round the door and the door itself doesnt appear to be missing anything obvious.

Can anyone give me a detailed breakdown of exactly where i should start on findoing thhe hole/leak and suggest how i can fix it.


I'm not taking it to BMW/MINI out of principle as I doubt they will be interested in a car of this age unless i'm will to shell out loads of cash. despite the fact that BMW obviously skimped on testing/development etc. list of faults within the last 6 months include rubbish quality bushes being replaced with proflex, faulty airbag sensors/light now on, knocking steering column and seats that do not recline properly or move forward under their own steam.

bought the car used, it drives brilliantly and puts a smile on my face, just a let pity that soembody didnt do their job propelry when it came to reliablity, my fiat was more reliable that this mini which really is saying something!!

Any help will be much appreciated.

cheers
