W203 DIY Need - for water leak in footwells

I have searched and searched but can't seem to find a DIY or How To for locating where a leak may be coming into the drivers footwell.

I have read a lot about clearing out channels and drainage hoses but can't seem to find photos of the various locations. I can see 3 drainage hoses running along the windscreen and can look to clear these out later but i can't see these letting water into the drivers footwell.

I can't see a pool of water under the fuse box at all so i'm not sure how this gets into the car footwell. There is a significant amount of water in the footwell but no obvious path of where it came from. can anyone help?

it could be from the a/c drain hose, it might be clogged and not allowing the condensation to drain.

The longer route would be removing the seats and carpet to have visual aid as to where exactly its wet and go from there

Pull the A-Pillar off the drivers side to see if the drain hose from the sun roof is connected or has a rip in it........
