Default Pass. side water leak into the cabin

After a rain my daughter found water dripping from under the glove box. I was not driving at the time so did not observe it. At the end of the day I checked the cabin filter which appeared to be dry ( but the q5 was driven in outside temp ~86F, so it could have dried out too).
yesterday I removed the A-pillar cover, and pored a gallon of water into the front pass. side sunroof , using a funnel connected to a plastic hose, inserted directly into the drain hole of the sunroof. water came out from under the car, nothing came off the headliner, so I concluded that the sunroof drain is not clogged.
Last week I vacuumed leaves and dirt from under the cowl (which I removed), so the drain hole there was cleared. Poured water from a hose onto the windshield for 5-7 min. -no water leaking into the car. Initially some water came from under the car so I concluded that the drain in front of the firewall is clear too.
when the leak happened, the Q5 was parked nose down about 15 degrees (my driveway).

Any thoughts?
Thanx
