Still have water leak - not sunroof drains - anyone know about cowl drains? V70-XC70 2008

We had the worst drought in history, only 3 good rain storms in several months.

The front of the car was flooded in each storm - like 1/2 inch of water in both front floors, damp in rear.

It is not the sunroof drains as I covered the sunroof with plastic, taped with good quality duct tape all around.

I removed the cowl cover and saw no evidence of debris or water marks. I was surprised how clean that area was.

When I left the driveway after a couple of floods, I did get a stripe of water about 20 feet long as I turned to the left.

Any ideas?

I am actually thinking of drilling a couple of holes in the floor - or going to my dealer!
