Default Water Leak driver side

This only occurs when my car is washed in my driveway nose pointed up.
Water leaks in on driver's side, when I pull the car up level water pours from the driver knee bolster ??? any ideas, has this happened to anyone else? Car is usually in the garage when it rains so I really don't know if water would enter during "normal conditions"

I have has a '98 and an '02. I have several friends with C5s.
They all leak at some point or another.
I have had the windows adjusted by the dealer three times now.
Everytime I change the roof panel another wind noise or water
leak pops up and the car is brand new.
I believe adjusting the windows is the only answer but not sure.

What do you mean by "knee bolster?" The seat? :confused:

Picture in your mind the area under the steering wheel where your knees would hit in an accident.

Just a thought is water getting into air intake at the cowl drivers side just forward of the rear edge of the hood. If water gets in there it should drain out bottom of car drivers side.Try it pour some water in there should drain immediately if its not blocked.
