Well well, where do I begin? I've now had two Clios that have done the same thing! I know this has been posted before but there are no decent pics of where people should be looking for the drain holes (although their not to difficult to find). I've taken a couple of pics of where the one in the middle is as this seems to be the biggest problem!

I would however like to know that if all the drain holes are clean where else at the front of the car could water get into to?

Any suggestions would be great

My 182 will in a heavy rainstorm and if parked on a slope sideways with the drivers side uppermost leak a small amount through the drivers door seal. I park it facing the other way - problem solved!

Yours looks a whole lot worse than that though, reminds me of the sunroof in my 1.8 16v clio.
Have you checked the scuttle drains under the windscreen aren't blocked, our scenic has suffered this and it get through the dash to inside

I did think the door could be the issue but there is no sign of leaking from it when I prayed water over it. And what is your issue aha?

That's what iv pictured above? The center was blocked and I pushed a screwdriver through it to which water poured out. So I'm assuming I found the right place?

Oh right! I just have one flap thing wasn't sure why they would put that on it? But the tune wasn't blocked it was the actual hole
