E36 coupe leaking

[Herbmiester 923]

So the floors on my E36 coupe are wet, quite wet. The car has a sunroof is that the likely culprit?  What else do I need to check?

Make sure the side vent windows are closing tightly (they can be adjusted). 

Mine leaked and used to soak the seatbelt and carpet. 

Also clear sunroof drains. Not sure if the vapor barriers cause leaking in this model but that could be another cause.

i had wet carpets - passenger side - it was the airconditioning unit that had a leak

Ok I think I found the problem or at least one of the problems. The cowling scuttle was full of decomposed leaves and dirt. Its a complete bitch of a job to fix as there is just no room to work.

+1 to that, same thing on alot of my BMW's leaves in trim etc always seem to cause leaks

One of @dirtydoogle old BMWs had leaves and crap so old in the drain holes it was compost

That's exactly what I am removing , black compost.

I have dried it out with sun and hair dryer and now tying vacuum.

Yeah they leak everywhere, not uncommon for leaks to go under windscreen either
