The MK2 drains are under the "windage tray" [where the wiper motor and 
fresh air intake are located] are two "slots" on either end of the 
"tray" [against the fender]. These could be clogged with debris.

Also, the gasket to the housing that lets the air into the interior 
could be bad, allowing water to enter the interior. It is located on the 
passnger side.

The windshield should be sealed with a silicone type sealant on BOTH 
sides of the outer gasket [the glass side AND the body side]

Good luck!
