But most likely are the above suggestions. Door seals or heater matrix.

Yes it's there to keep the water that inevitably bypasses the window seals inside the door where it should then drain out of the bottom of the door.
I had this problem on a rear and drivers door and found the foam membrane was damaged and had become detached around the edges. I repaired it with builders silicone and it completely cured the problem.
With the door open wide and with the window closed pour water as fast as a watering can will allow along the outer window seal at the base of the window, if the membrane is at fault you should see water leaking on the inside of the door from behind the door card. It will also pour out from the bottom of the door but thats OK.

My mate went as far as tasting it Lol
#12: Re: water in passanger footwell Author: oldskoolz, Location: LondonPosted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 2:31 pm ---- I've found water in both my footwells before (on separate occasions). Couldn't find the source of the leak but the sills had slight puddles in them as well, so guessing it was from the door somehow
#13: Re: water in passanger footwell Author: ian89, Location: north eastPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 10:23 am ---- had the carpet up and no holes in the actual footwell, checked the door seals where tight and also checked the it is clean water and doesnt taste of anti-freeze but keep up the suggestions please.
its weeing it down outside so i'll see if i get another puddle
