Yeah, that's what I was trying to point out, it might be coming in to the car from the speaker, but that is definitely not the source of your leak, theres no point sealing the speaker because that wont address the actual source of the leak.
As I said its more likely your window seals are letting in water and/or your drainage gutters are blocked.
Blocked drains are quite a common issue on the E and F generation 3 series.
Check for leaves, twigs etc in the drains.

drains are fine, have checked them. yes i understand but window seals aren't 100% waterproof anyway. if the speaker seal/foam seems damp and damaged (as poorly shown in the 1st pic) surely it is worth replacing?
Yes mate i'd definitely replace it, but at the same time I would want to find the actual source of the leak as its clearly letting in more water than intended for it to be damaging the membrane.

Beginning to sound like a pricey repair tbh. Couldn't you just hand the car back to your grandparents?

Selling it to deuce would make more sense.

just had a new window-screen put in last week, put on the wipers and there must have been a leaf/twig or something on them as theres a 5cm curved scratch, anyone recommend the best scratch remover for light scratches?

Anyone know the ins and outs of company car tax and electric /hybrids ? For example if I got an electric jag or a hybrid range sport, is it more beneficial to get it through work than finance myself ? If anyone can point me to a good website or whatever, ta.

Glass polish can be applied by hand: G-Techniq's stuff is good. Failing that, you may need a dual-action polisher (again!)
