I've had this problem.

Just make sure you dry those carpets off properly, they will start to pong a bit if not.....
Oh and check the rear footwell as well, it flows back into there sometimes

O.M.G. that brings back memories 

Had exactly the same thing happen to me!!

Had a poke round with a long screwdriver till i eventually found the rubber bung at the bottom, wiggled the gromet & as the water poured out ended up with wet feet!!

But water settled again so this time i managed to push the gromet out (after cut & bruised hand!) and never had the problem again 

Mick is correct about the rear footwell cos mine was soaking wet as well as the front!! In a way your lucky its 'summer' cos u can leave all the windows slightly open to air the cabin. I had to pull up the carpets & using a spongue soak up all the water then put down 'Plenty' kitchen paper & change it every day till eventually it dried out! I also put down a plastic container filled with salt cos that helps draw in moisture 

Good luck & hope this helps

Thanks for all the info did same thing used screwdriver pushed gromit out why do they put one there in first place, the hole must be rather smal,l cant believe that electrics run thru there if this happens
