I have a 2016 a7 and have water leaking into the passenger side quarter panel there is a Bose module and quite a bit of water and can’t seem to see where the water is coming from is there a water leak king on this site ?
 
Hi if you’re talking about the rear at the side of the boot I’ve had same problem but it seems to come up from the base of the boot where there’s a vent to let air out. In heavy rain at speed it possibly draws spray up from the rear wheels into the side of the boot. Mines even got gravel in there. Dried it out, hoovered stones out and had a good poke about. Not checked it recently.
Other options would be water from sunroof drain possibly, or tracking in from a dodgy hatchback seal.

If it’s front quarter leaking I’d pull out the underbonnet plastic scuttle cover for a hoover - mine had half a pine tree under there.
