Just discovered behind the passenger seat floor is sopping wet. Took the floor mat out and trying to air dry the area - I have no idea what has caused this - we have had a huge amount of rain lately and the car is parked in driveway (no garage). Any help would be appreciated.

TechnicianVolvo has a service bulletin regarding this issue, there is a "water intrusion behind the windshield" That's the exact phrase they used. Bring it to a Volvo specialize shop to have it repaired, this is an involved process.
Tell them this service bulletin number: RTJ14545-2008-10-07

Visitor, July 11, 2011, 05:04I had the same thing.
It was the sunroof drain there are two - one in each front corner of the sunroof.
You can see them if you put the sunroof back.
They are a hassle to get to and I couldn't get any wire or anything down them to clear them.What worked was putting a drinking straw in the hole and blasting high pressure air (from petrol station forecourt) down them.

The other online discussions indicated a connection between drain tube at right side in post bottom of windshield. It is raining today so I should see if the forced air was sufficient to correct or will I have to take interior post trim off to verify connection at end of tube from sun roof.wcholland
