Is it constant when it's raining, or is it only when you press a specific pedal whilst it's raining?

Random anecdote; My mum's Range Rover Classic used to drip water onto people's feet when it was raining, but only when you pressed the clutch pedal.........

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

i get a leak when its raining, I heard that on the soft top sjs there is a seal that runs between the windscreen and the bulkhead, this can perish and leave you with wet feet, to get at it you have to fold the windscreen down I never got around to doing mine, its only a slight drip anyway.

Check the two rubber water drainage thingy's which you can see mounted on the bulkhead (at the rear of the engine) - mine leaked so I removed them and refitted with gasket compound to provide a water tight seal.

I used to get wet feet in my hardtop, seemed as if it was coming from underneath the glovebox/ speedos.

Dad suggested taking off the wipers and rubbing grease around the seals where the wiper mounts go into the car. Seems to have worked a treat.

have you tried to locate the leak via hose pipe....ie...jet a spot for a few mins then check the footwells....then move to another...work from the bottom up and you should find the bugger! (hopefully :P :lol: )
