Water Ingress Passenger Front and Rear footwells - Ibiza 6J

Hi All

I have had a water leak from somewhere and the passenger side front and rear footwells are soaked wet through (carpets are very damp). This only seemed to have happened after it snowed. I have replaced the pollen (cabin filter), which had a few little leaf pieces in it.

I was wandering if I need to check the scuttle bay (under the bonnet / windscreen area) to see if their is a blockage.

I have read that the following process needs to be followed.
1- Open Bonnet
2 - Take of protector caps of wipers
3 - Unscrew nuts of wipers then remove wipers
4 - Unscrew nuts / screws of plastic scuttle bay cover
5 - Remove plastic scuttle bay cover by pushing upwards and lifting at a 90 degree angle from the windscreen
6 - Unblock drains etc.

Step 6 is where the problem is, has anyone got any photos of what I am looking for? Also if their is a video anywhere of this process that would be very helpful

Please can anyone help, as the videos online are not for the Seat Ibiza and more for the VW group in general.
