I cant see it coming in from underneath myself.
Personally I think I would try a full water test, take as much trim off as you can in the area you think it is coming from, i.e. pop the glove box out, take the door trim right off, then sit in the car while someone else runs a hose all over the outside of the car, hopefully you will see something dripping or running, you'll be surprised where water can get into, probably in the least expected place !

I bet you are m8, you'll probably see more, or easier, if you wind the seats right down and kind of lay down in the car and get yer head right in there, and take a torch with you, hopefully you will spot it.

i had the same problem, it was comin in through the pollen filter. the drainage thing under the window screen got blocked with leaves etc and the water filled up untill it could run in through the filter.
to the right of the engine at the back there should be a rubber tube about 2 inches hanging down (thats the drainage thing), if u stick something up that u should be able to feel if its blocked and unblock it.
hope this helps

If you don't mind going a little extreme, strip the interior so the carpet and linings are out of the car (you will need them out to get them dry anyway, you can put the seats back in then, so it's usable) and then line around the footwells etc with a strip of something like paper or material, get the car wet and see at what point said strips get wet too, then hunt above where it has happened.
