Angry Need help with my A6

I'm having a serious problem with the recent rain. It rained all night and this morning my car was flooded. seems like the I got most of the water on the driver's back side. I looked underneath the car and didnt see any leakage. Interior looks line as well. Please help me guide in right direction. Thanks,
P.S. When I turn corners and go from the stop light I can hear water moving all over the place.

Im not an expert on this in any way but I would suggest leaving your car open completely (all the doors) when you get home for as long as possible to help it air out. Honestly I don't know enough to help you out well. How much rain was there anyways that it flooded your car?

Is the water in your trunk maybe? lift up the carpet in the trunk and see if it's sitting in the well. You might just have to pull the plug and let it out.

Yes it is the drivers rear side. When I move the seats up all the way to the front I see two air vents. Do you think the water is coming in from these vents.

There is only one leak that can get that much water inside the car on the driver's side, and thats one of the sunroof drains. Are there stains on the headliner?
