Stop shouting! Turn off your cap-lock.

Your drain is probably blocked under the scuttle or you've parked on a hill. The water comes in at the pollen filter and takes the lowest path to the rear near-side.
Pull out the scuttle and clean out your drains.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Screw that, vax up as much as you can then just put a dehumidifier in the boot and a fan up front to circulate the air. Leave there for 24hrs or so and job done! You can probably hire the gear if you don't have it.

I had to do this after sitting on my key and winding all the windows down one night when it was pissing it down!

Do whichever you want but that sounds like a lot of effort.
