I have the same problem, water is getting in at some point. In my case the rear window seal is leaking, also had water coming in around the sunroof although i think i have fixed that one. I think i had water coming into the boot from the fuel filler cap, again that one now sealed. It's just a case of trying to locate the leak, are any of your carpets damp (including the boot) or a mouldy smell in the car?
hope this helps,
Jim.
 
Check the front floormats - if you find liquid there, it can be a heater matrix leaking. Also - can be a clogged pollen filter or a broken flap under it.

Check the above and based on results search this forum and the Bravo/Brava forum for answers.
 
I've had the same problem for a while - thought it was a leak somewhere, door/window etc but it is the heater matrix.

Check the water/coolant level in the header tank, this is the tell tale leaking heater matrix sign if the level is down.

I've put a bit of old newspaper in the footwells to try and dry things out a bit - when they are removed they are stained with the blue tinge of coolant :cry:

Hope this helps.
Simon.
 
Also worthchecking the drains under the bonnet, the sealing plates come off to let you get in easier. The ones I am talking about are up toward the firewall and take the water from the windscreen where it runs under the bonnet. These spaces tend to get clogged with leaves, there is an article with pics on Fiat boo
