Major water ingress

The recent slushy weather has delivered a soggy surpise. I appear to be taking in water at the front and the back - yesterday I found a damp patch in the boot right at the bottom, in the slightly sunken section at the lowest point, which appears to be weeping in through the light cluster. I'll get some silicone on that later...



Then I got into the car to discover an actual puddle in the passenger footwell, complete with a skin of ice on top! I've had issues with the drainage channel on the passenger side a-post before - but looks like a lump of slush was positioned just-so and essentially melted and drained into the car. bummer :/



regarding the 'tubing fix' for the door leak, can someone explain exactly how much tubing and how far to insert it? should it be a piece that just goes into the seal where it meets the cheater, or should it be the full length of the a-post right up to the top corner of the windscreen? also, what is the optimal width tubing to use? thanks in advance :)
