Common water ingress points

Hi, it seems I’ve bought a real peach. The interior seems a somewhat damp and humid place to be.

I’m not convinced the OSS is locking and sealing tight as above the passenger seat the channels around the OSS seem a bit damp, also getting a bit of wind noise at speed.
 
Is the roof lining wet? It isn’t usually the OSS that leaks, it’s usually the vents behind the rear bumper.
 
Shortly after buying my A2 in 2006 I had a swimming pool in the battery compartment which overflowed and soaked rear seat and carpets. As above a contributor on this forum highlighted loose rear vents as problem. Got them fixed and resealed. Complete cure. Hope this helps.
 
Is it worthwhile running a bead of silicone around the air vent assemblies? I appreciate that they have a bonded seal around them but they’re evidently not the best.
