Water in car under right rear seat

More boring water stuff
I have located water in my car
Water ingress start point seems to be under the right rear passenger seat. If I park on a slope with the nose pointing up, no water seems to pool in the car, if I point the nose down then I get water under the rear seat. It rains most days in Scotland so I get a regular test , any ideas as to where the water is getting in¿am I condemend to parking her nose up? Should I move somewhere drier like Cornwall?
