I have the same problem. Cleaned the air conditioning pipe under the passenger footwell, cleaned the sediment out of the centre funnel rubber sleeve and today I’ve had the windscreen removed and replaced as there was a crack in the bottom left corner. I’ve checked all the door sills, so I’m hoping I’ve fixed the problem. It’s difficult to dry out the sponge sound proofing, as it soaks up loads of water 😩
I hope you’ve fixed it - water ingress is really annoying and in winter time, hard to dry out. I lifted the carpets and put towels under, then pressed down until I’d squeezed as much out from the foam as I could, then repeat with another towel etc. It took a few. Then propped the carpet up to allow air to flow and left the car in the garage with a heater on. Next electricity bill should be interesting!
I've got a weird grinding noise in mine when ever is go over uneven roads. Seems to only happen when the suspension is really twisting. It sounds like its the windshield and I've been looking out for a leak but none so far.
I love the Smart cars, hope all goes well with your claim. I'm guessing you won't be going back to them after they cracked your windshield THEN botched the replacement job. =(
Very Good That you have noticed it so fast. My SAM got water in it yesterday so That my Car isnt starting now.

Often anti-roll bar bushes on these cars.
